Kayalu Kayalite 360° Bright-White Kayak Light — Buoyant, Waterproof, 100+ hr Runtime

The Kayalu Kayalite is a rugged, buoyant 360° bright-white navigation light made for kayaks, SUPs, canoes and small boats, designed to stay attached, stay visible and survive rough use.

Night paddling requires dependable gear; the Kayalite delivers a highly visible, full‑circle LED beam in a compact mast that clips to any deck attachment point. Built from marine-grade materials in the USA, this light is waterproof to extreme depths, floats if dislodged, and can withstand impacts and rolls. It runs on three AA alkaline cells for long runtimes and uses a tensioned bungee and stainless steel clip to remain secured where suction cups and rigid mounts often fail.

How does the Kayalite keep you visible after dark?

The Kayalite projects a continuous 360° bright-white output from a dual-LED module with a diffusion lens, meeting common small craft navigation expectations for kayaks and similar craft. Its elevated mast ensures visibility from all angles while the white diffusion lens softens glare and spreads the beam effectively.

• Dual bright-white LEDs with titanium-infused diffusion lens for even light.
• Full 360° coverage so other water users see your craft from any direction.
• Designed runtime: 100+ hours on three AA alkaline batteries (included).
• LED lifespan roughly 10,000 hours for long-term reliability.

Will the light survive capsizes, strikes or heavy use?

Yes—Kayalite is engineered to tolerate the real-world abuse of paddling sports. Its shock-flexing body and rubber seals let it absorb blows from paddles, branches or a roll; a tension cable keeps the mast intact and prevents snapping or accidental detachment during self-rescue maneuvers.

• Constructed from high-strength ABS and Lexan with rubber O-rings for durability.
• Marine-grade stainless fastenings and a nylon-coated bungee tension cord for resilience.
• Buoyant and submersible to 1000' (IPX8), so it survives immersion and floats if lost.
• Designed to flex rather than break under impact to maintain function after hits.

How do you attach and power the Kayalite on your boat?

Attachment is quick and single-handed: clip the stainless steel clip to any deck eyelet, D‑ring or SUP leash plug, pull the tension cord taut and lock it into the integrated jam cleat. If you lack a suitable deck eyelet, Kayalu offers an affordable stainless steel eyebolt kit to add a secure attachment point.

• Attaches to eyelets, D-rings, carry handles, leash plugs and rigging points.
• Jam-cleat and bungee cord enable one-handed secure setup and adjustment.
• Runs on three AA alkaline batteries (included); rechargeable AA not recommended.
• Height ~18" (45 cm) and weight ~11 oz (312 g) for low wind profile and buoyancy.

Does the Kayalite meet safety or regulatory guidelines for small craft?

The Kayalite is designed to comply with common small craft navigation rules, providing a persistent white light appropriate for kayaks, canoes, SUPs and other non‑motorized vessels. Its construction and marking support use in conditions where an externally mounted navigation light is required or recommended.

• Meets U.S. small craft navigation considerations (Rule 25 for kayaks, canoes and SUPs).
• Built and tested in Boston—battle tested in harbor and river conditions.
• Backed by U.S. patents for its mounting and flexible mast design.

Who is this for? The Kayalu Kayalite suits recreational and professional paddlers, guides, instructors and small‑boat users who want a dependable, highly visible, and low‑maintenance navigation light. It’s ideal for those who paddle at dawn, dusk or night, operate in rough water or surf, or simply prefer a robust, attach‑and‑forget lighting solution that won’t fail when you need it most.
