: Has anyone tried installing 'running light' LED's in the epoxy? A
: friend of mine is working through this but hasn't finished yet
: and I was thinking to try something similar. I looking to put a
: red/green pair in the front of the kayak and a pair or whites in
: the back, under the glass, in holes drilled in the wood. They'd
: be controlled from the cockpit area.

: Burn time on these is up around 10,000 hours now so we'd never need
: to replace the LED's I expect.

: Any experience out there with this type of project?

: Thanks,

: Jim

I our kayak club one of the guys has LED running lights he built on his kayak. They cause almost instant night blindness for everyone else that paddles with him. Far worse a problem than not having lights in the first place.
