Kayalite™ Deck, Anchor and Stern Light |
|
There's nothing like the thrill of an offshore adventure after dark, and now there's a safer way to tackle the night. Introducing the Kayalite — a high-visibility LED stern light, deck light and anchor light like none other you've seen before.
Unlike any other portable navigation light available, the Kayalite is virtually loss-proof and indestructable. It can take a blow if you happen to catch a branch or roll your kayak through a bed of reeds. Mounted atop your outboard cowling or transom, the Kayalite will withstand an accidental boat-hook bump or motor vibration. Waterproof and buoyant, the Kayalite can be fastened quickly and easily onto any existing eyelet or pad eye.
Whether you're motoring, sailing or rowing, there is simply no better portable, 2-mile all-around navlight at anchor or underway — even as an emergency spare. And the advantages of a Kayalite for dinghies, RIB/RHIB inflatables and canoes after dark are self-evident.
The secret of the Kayalite is our patent-pending mast technology that overcomes the limitations of rigid pole and suction-cup based lighting solutions. A tension cable holds the mast upright while preventing it from snapping or accidentally detaching. It's built to work, and to last a lifetime.
Plan to use the Kayalite in many ways with little risk of loss because of its sturdy steel breech clip. Attach the clip and pull it taut to your stand-up board or sit-on-top deck, canoe seat, upside-down pulled tight to a zipper under a bimini, laterally affixed to a mast — in a jam it can even be clipped to an existing bungee, tie-down, sheet or halyard.
Pro paddlers and boaters appreciate the Kayalite's EVA foam-cushioned base which protects glass, gel coat and teak. And the Kayalite is the ONLY premium quality portable stern light that gives you the security of a clasping attachment system without requiring a bulky rigid permanent mounting.
A seaworthy beacon, fully integrated...
The Kayalite includes a Tektite Mark III industrial marker light, bolted to the Kayalite's base using a marine-grade, stainless steel machine screw and matching nylon-insert stainless locknut (300 grade steel, truly corrosion resistant). Our bolt-in integration of the Tektite Mark III into the Kayalite is unmatched by any other competitive portable navlight.
The Tektite Mark III light features a bright white LED providing 2-mile visibility per USCG Rule 22, 200 hours of service on a single set of batteries, and an LED life rated to 10,000 hours of service. The Tektite Mark III's batteries (included) are easily replaced without having to unbolt the light from the Kayalite mast.
Taller? Shorter? Cheaper? Not so fast!
The Kayalite is 18" tall (45 cm). During development, we evaluated performance of commercial and prototype stern lights on the afterdeck of a kayak — a watercraft with particularly harsh demands. The Kayalite's 18" height provides you with necessary visibility while completely shielding the bow and forward surfaces from illumination, thereby protecting your night vision while properly respecting that of arriving boaters and paddlers. Mounted within reach, the Kayalite can be easily turned off — a critically important factor when enjoying a moonlit evening in the company of other paddlers and boaters.
