This light runs off USB and mounts with a quick-disconnect, action-camera style base, with a t-nut included for standard accessory rail. It has high, medium and SOS flashing modes and remembers the last mode used. It plugs into any Yak Power system, and the dongle model also charges phones or cameras during the day.

Good to know

  • If your kayak has a Yak Power system but no USB outlet, choose the model with the YP-USB2 dongle.
  • Remember to bring the light even on day trips, since the SOS mode is what you want if you get caught out late.

KayakDIY take: I’d rather carry a light I don’t need than paddle back in the dark without one. For more options, see my fishing kayak accessories guide.
