[Paddlewise] Kayak Navigation Lights

   I'm not sure how this would adapt to kayaking, but for bicycle
commuting, I have a Petzl Tikka Plus headlamp attached to my
helmet by a strap. This is in addition to the usual assortment
of bicycle lights on the bike fore and aft. The Tikka can point in
any direction one chooses, plus it has three levels of steady light
and a blinking mode. It also can serve as a small search light. This
same arrangement could be used in a kayak, if one were willing to
wear a helmet. Some advantages of the helmet light are that you don't
have to hold it, yet it is readily accessible since it is sitting on
your head, and it can be quickly turned on or off by pressing one
finger on the simple control button.
