WaterTorch™ XT Triple-Height Kit - Kayak and SUP Light with RAM Mounts® Power-Locking Suction

Engineered for kayak and SUP paddlers, the Kayalu WaterTorch XT is a rugged, bright white dual-LED, waterproof light, with a power-locking suction cup manufactured by RAM Mounting Systems (Seattle, WA).

The WaterTorch XT ships as a kit requiring minor assembly, allowing you to build the light to any one of three heights:

13.5" (34 cm)
20.5" (52 cm)
27.5" (70 cm)

See the image below to view the three WaterTorch XT heights possible with this kit. All marine-grade stainless steel hardware required is included.

The light at the top of the WaterTorch XT is manufactured for Kayalu by Tektite Industries (Trenton, NJ), using the same patented, submersible light technology that we integrate into our popular Kayalite® and Kayalite-SUP products. The WaterTorch XT can accept any Kayalu or Tektite Mark III replacement parts including a wide array of lenses and LED modules. Tektite is a leading supplier of lights and gear used in harsh environments and challenging applications.

Technical Specs and Features

  • High-visibility, bright white 2-LED light operates for over 100 hours on a single set of 3 removable AA alkaline batteries (included). Individual LED life rated at over 10,000 hours.

  • Assembles to 13.5", 20.5" and 27.5" (70 cm). A Phillips screwdriver is required for assembly. Total estimated assembly time: 5-10 minutes.
