LIGHT FOR NIGHT STAND UP PADDLE AND KAYAKING

Leave a reply


navisafe red green light

We have been using the NAVISAFE red green lights for all our full moon and night time paddles. The navisafe can be used in four different modes, full (red, green and white) or only white, only green, only red. They have been great lights so far for us. In several occasions they have been completely submerged and they still continue to work with zero corrosion.

The navisafe light is very easy to attach. It comes with an extremely strong magnet and a tie-down strap. You can purchase them through NRS.
