I kinda like the light-inside-the-kayak for plastic yaks. An orange kayak 
would have a nice glow on Halloween evening. You could even leave it on the 
lawn with a light on in it and pumpkin head atop sans helmet for decorative 
effect.

Not sure what would happen if two paddlers were out in the late evening, one 
with a glowing red plastic kayak, and one with a red glowing kayak. Might 
confuse the skipper of an approaching vessel...

Me, no lights at night, incognito, go to places where other boats don't 
frequent.
