Have you seen my LED page:

www.flinet.com/gulfstream/paddle.html

The issue with Red/ Green lights is that as I understand it, per CG
rules, a kayak should be marked with a steady white light. The reason
one has a red/green light on boats and planes is to be able to identify
their direction relative to the viewer. Kayaks are too narrow to make
that practical and pose no threat of collision due to the slow speed
most of us can achieve.

Cya!

Say Bob, have you ever had any thoughts about building an LED
red/green/white marker light system for kayaks?

Winter looms and thoughts of winter projects are settling in.

a
few years ago, these white LEDs were almost $10 direct from the
manufacturer, Nichea. This light comes with 7 LEDs, 3 C cells and a
strap for $32!
