>> I just got off the phone with Kris, the inventor (a very personable fellow). He said he was considering a half green, half white version (not sure if he meant horizontal or vertical split) expressly for folk like us. Seems to me being side-by-each like that might defeat the porpoise, but I told him I'd run it up the flagpole and kick it down the field with a subset of the paddling community. Any comments? Suggestions? >> I don't see the point. Even if you could maintain a proper orientation of the Krill lamp (I wear mine on my hat), that color combination is not USCG approved for port/starboard lighting, and looking along the split, I think that from more than a very short distance the two colors would merge, anyway. BTW, I forgot to mention in previous posts theat I carry -- and have used -- a regulation white headlamp when paddling at night. The light sticks -- and now the Krill lamp -- are intended more for keeping track of each other in a group than for use as navigation lights.
