If you have ever been caught in the dark while exploring by dinghy or kayak, you know what an uncomfortable situation this can be. The portable Navilight can be a lifesaver when finding your way back to the Mother Ship. This 360-degree safety beacon is powered by three AAA batteries and can produce an intense LED beam visible up to two nautical miles according to U.S. Coast Guard standards. If the batteries fail, the beacon will glow in the dark for up to 8 hours. This waterproof, floatable unit can be placed on most boat surfaces thanks to the double-magnetic mounting system, it’s a versatile beacon that can be placed on a masthead or stern. The Navilight LED safety beacon is available from duckworks.com and can be ordered online.
