The answer to this question depends under what jurisdiction you 
paddle, i.e. the part of the world.

In Canada kayaks, canoes, rowboats etc. are not required to have the 
red and green running lights.  The only requirement for those is to 
carry a white, waterproof lightsource (flashlight) when operating in 
poor visibility conditions (dark, fog etc.).  And even that is afaik 
only required on bodies of water which a navigable and under CCG/DOT 
jurisdiction.  On the local pond and lake one can likely do and carry 
whatever pleases.

In other parts of the world the rules may be different
