Loading... Please wait...There's nothing like the thrill of an offshore kayak adventure after dark, and finally there's a rugged and reliable product to tackle the night. The Kayalite is a high-visibility LED light for recreational and pro paddlers like none other in its class.
From its durable construction and U.S. NATO tested, submersible, bright white dual‑LED, to its patented "Secure-Attach™" mounting system, the Kayalite outperforms competitive lights and mounting systems. Clipped and pulled taut to an eyelet, deck loop, deck rigging or kayak carry handle, you're good to go.
Unlike any other portable navigation light available, the Kayalite is loss-proof and virtually indestructible. It can take a blow if you paddle into a branch or roll your kayak or SUP through a bed of reeds.
It's waterproof. And it floats if accidentally dropped overboard.
A tension cable passing through the centre of the Kayalite mast holds the light firmly upright on its base while preventing it from accidentally detaching.
So the Kayalite can flex. And it can be taken out of tension without being unclipped from its point of attachment. In other words, a paddler that has capsized unexpectedly won't be impeded from reentry by a light with a rigid mount. And the paddler won't lose the Kayalite, even if tension is released to allow the light to be pulled aside in an emergency.

Long term review. Feels more like a prototype than a finished product. Doesn't have flashing function so technically non compliant.
D ring corroded and hard to open. Not tall enough and not height adjustable. My advice would be to spend a bit more and get the Railblaza.

A really clever design. Easy to attach and operate, and looks like it would withstand some pretty rugged conditions. Worth the investment to extend paddling hours as the days get shorter.
