: If your goal is to actually be seen then you want something that is designed
: for the job. A hat that can fall in the water or non-waterproof light with
: directional LED that's for lighting up what's a few feet in front of your
: face is not the same thing as a nav. light. A light that bobs around as
: you swivel your head isn't a good idea. Likewise if you're in a situation
: where being seen is important the lighting should be as robust and up to
: the job as any piece of equipment that's important for preventing
: collision,damage and death.
: Speaking from the experience of paddling back to the docks with a large group
: of paddlers in all manner of twinkly illumination and a skipper on a
: charter boat giving us holy hell for being invisible on the water.
The charter boat skipper needs to read the Colregs and/or understand them. Having running lights on a boat 6" out of the water will do nothing at all. The regs state that a white light be shown in time to prevent a collision for any paddle craft.
