G'Day Doug, I used to carry a 'waterproof' PFD strobe that ran off a couple of AA cells and was claimed to be visible to 3km. The same company made a "constant" light of similar size and shape and with the same claimed visibility. Nearly all our trips have us in the water at some point so the major problem with them and with other lights was water leakage. I've had to throw away three so far. These days I keep a strobe in my emergency bag in the day hatch, but I'd much rather carry it as you do. It would be good to hear more about the quality of your light and your experiences with its care maintenance and durability. I imagine your trips would put it though some quite tough testing. All the best, PeterO *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
