That is a red flashing bike light. Correctly you should also buy a front bike one that is usually green and fit them one on each side of the kayak (red on the port side remember). You need a white "masthead" light too so fit one of those to your hat and now you are a bit closer to the complete marine lighting requirement for vessels over 20 feet under power. Note I said a "bit closer". The actual legal requirement (for a kayak) is to have available a white all round light. Night paddling, my first night paddle was a 3 hour one starting at 3.30 a.m., finishing as dawn broke after being caught out while a gale blew through. I then had 4 hours driving to get to work late.
