[Paddlewise] one other waterproof LED light

In my earlier summary post about LED flashlights, I forgot about another 
handy little light I came across in my search that one might consider as a 
good waterproof PFD/cockpit/camp light:

It is called the Safe-Light and runs on single 9 V battery (which I think 
helps its brightness and also run time).  Claims to be waterproof to 
15'.  Lifetime warranty.  Has a unique "Night-Light" feature which 
basically lights the LED all the time (will run this way for a period of 2 
years).  This makes the light glow - makes it VERY easy to find in a dark 
tent - and actually has enough illumination in this mode to do some basic 
things - e.g., moving around.  It has a high beam mode - the light will run 
40 hrs on this setting.  Also has a flasher mode (will run for 200 hrs) and 
the lens is shaped in a dome so it actually is a 360 degree signal 
flasher.  It comes with a integral clip for mounting to a strap or hat and 
the clip is also magnetic - which could come in handy (although I can't 
think of too many pieces of steel paddling gear!).  Actually, I find having 
a magnet around camp nice.  If have to reapir something with little 
screws/springs (stoves), a magnet to grab of hold those little loose 
fasteners can save a lot of searching through the pine needles!!  Also, the 
light screws together with actual screws when you install the battery - so 
maybe it is a bit more leak proof than snap together models.  Maybe not.

dimensions - not as small as one might think...

OK, that was WAY too much info on a flashlight!!  But for those 
gadget-obsessed gearheads and flashlight fanatics it might be useful.
