Kayalu WaterTorch® 360° Kayak Light | Boat Work Light | Handheld Torch | Suction Base | Portable Bright White LED

We purchased these for our kayaks and per nautical rules they must be on the front of the vessel. We had to move them to the back because they are SUPER bright. We could not see in front of us.Overall they are perfect for going out on the water at night! The light up everything around you and even into our salt water so we could seed the fish. They must be tied on because the suction cups don't hold for very long and they DO NOT float. We had read the other reviews about tying then and were glad we did when one came off while out.Great product. Very bright! Will buy again when we add the next kayak.

I want you to know how much I enjoyed and appreciated this fantastic paddle board light, for the full 5 minutes it stayed on my board before I whacked it into the lake. Ignoring the instructions to attach cord to board, I excitedly went out at 10 pm into a star filled night, beautifully reflected by the water.When the torch hit the water, I was sure it would float. And as it slowly began to descend, I was sure it would bob back up. You can imagine my disappointment as I watched it sink to the bottom of the lake, beacon brightly shining like the stern of the titanic. After one futile attempt to dive deep enough to retrieve, which entailed stripping my mom-bod down to its skivvies, I had to accept that the light was no longer mine. I have ordered another, but I might suggest you follow the instructions and attach the cord to your board.Otherwise, this is a great product. PS: the light is still on!!

Bought a pair of these for a nighttime paddle this past summer and love them. Just be sure that you stick these on a smooth, non textured, surface and always attach it to you kayak using a carabiner clip. My kayak has a mesh hold down area just behind my seat and I placed my dry box, which has a smooth lid, under those hold downs. Stuck the light to the top of the secured dry box and it worked flawlessly.

Good Value, very visible when kayaking at night

I use this light for evening/night paddling both a kayak and a paddleboard. It is easy to attach (you must have a smooth surface for it to work) and it provides a lot of light (which is important on a high-weekend-traffic river). I like the lanyard which was useful the one time when the light came loose from my SUP. It also is nice that I can easy mount it on either my kayak or SUP. Because it needs a smooth surface for the suction, I'm not sure it if it will work with an inflatable.

I just purchased this so I haven't been able to use it yet. It seems sturdy and the suction cup and light seem very good. I planned on putting it behind me on the stern of the kayak. The only issue I see so far is that it is too short to be seen if I am sitting in front of it facing ongoing water traffic. We are going to add some PVC to it to extend it so it can be seen above my head instead of behind my back only.

So this is the second one I have bought. That alone should be enough review. The first one sank to the bottom of a 60’ trench because I didn’t exercise the “tie everything to the yak” rule. This is a GREAT light! Bright enough to provide ambient light to see a short distance. But more than bright enough to supply the 2-mile visibility required on the water. I took the suction cup off and shoved it in a PVC tube (can’t remember the size - .75 maybe?) so it would be 36” above the water. Easy operation- twist on, twist off, right from my kayak seat. I definitely recommend this light, not only to satisfy the regulatory requirements, but also because it is a benefit to night fishing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This light is sufficiently bright to keep you visible during an evening paddle. The suction worked well on my kaya,k, but you should know it’s a very smooth composit material, not a poly molded hull, so that might make a difference. There is a short leash to attach to your stern bungees. I only used it once so far and it did not get dunked in water, so I have no idea how it would handle a dunking.
