lighting: does this exist?

[squizzy]

B4 u think of any yak lights I would consider sending fishphil a pm about his yak lights, there is no way known you could miss him and he didn't have them on a huge pole, just a big strip down both sides of his kayak. It could be seen easier than the Abeltasman, so bright when we were out with him we were scared that the stink boaters blinded by fishophil super lumens would in a confused state run us all over.

Came across this in a mag - could be easily adapted to a yak. Haven't seen it fitted anywhere and no affiliation

What about a length of LED flexi strip made into the likes of a headland. I'm sure I have seen a 9v version at Jaycar. You would be able to fit it all onto a Baseball type cap no problems. It would be like the lights you can get that clip onto the peak of a cap but allround.

Problem with hats ...... from experience folks they fall off when you hit the water ! (just ask cheater he can attest to my loss!)

You really dont want to go O/board at night AND find you've lost your lights too. Theres really nothing like a 7 or 8Ah battery sealed in the hull running a decent set of LEDs on a removeable pole that wont dislodge or stop working after you've righted the yak.

IMHO always plan for the worst case scenario.....same is true for my ourigger - if at can't handle the big stuff then its a liablity and could end up as twsited mess that could hinder a safe return to shore....

Hey Mate

i auctually love my night fishing, and am doing more and more on my yak now by myself.
i fitted a LED 360light to my yak, its super bright, and runs of a 12v battery "same as whats out of a jump starter", hooked it up to the sounder too.
can easily run 3-4 trips. (thesed in my backyard)
the plastic base is water sealed, and has the +/- connectors in it
the pole simply plugs in when needed and wala. (pic below,)

the only issue i have now is im a super highway for bugs its that bright.

oh yeah, and i found this really nice ultra portable tourch, Len lenser P7 ($36 bucks on ebay) brighter than a dolpan torch, 60h battery, and small enough to fit in your pocket. its worth every cent.

Don't mean to be rude Ross but if your out there at night without lights your an Idiot...

g'day drewry, Not sure what you have done to your light, but I used to have one very similar, waterproofed everything, or so I thought. The one thing I forgot was the inside of the pipe running up at the base. One night I head off for a night fish and the light would not work, I found I had not sealed the pipe when salt water had gone in on a previous trip and corrosion had eaten apart the light.

Hey Elm,
Thanks for the heads up, I usually spray it every trip, and I'm yet do get it wet.
After the advice I will open it up and seal it better
Cheers
