![]() ![]() Gunther Vinson expects to see lights installed at the factory by the original equipment manufacturer. So, what might we expect in kayak lighting in the near future? Our experts look into the crystal ball. “We remain innovative by being keen on other industries, we even look at Tesla.” The luxury electric car company has spawned many innovations in power that trickle down to the kayak lighting market. Kayak lighting is taking advantage of the evolution of output options. Keller and the other experts agree lithium-ion batteries continue to evolve. ![]() We can dial up power with less run time and optimal output of light.” With all the possibilities, Vinson reminds us, “Battery capacity is critical.”Īt Guardian Angel, a leading LED lighting manufacturer, owner Chad Keller says battery power is a function of time, “It’s always a balancing act. Long time kayak lighting specialist at Yak Lights, Gunther Vinson sees lighting trends driven by “kayak anglers looking for wireless control and bigger lighting kits.” He says many want more sophisticated connections, spotlights and navigation lights that can be controlled independently with separate illumination for boat interiors and other sophisticated connections. You’re paying mostly for how the light mounts on the kayak.” Labrador says most LEDs are made by the same manufacturer, “execution is what you pay for.” Battery Power and Kayak Lights Go Hand in Hand In his home workshop, Labrador adds a word of caution about LED lighting for kayaks: “Currently lights are rather expensive for what they are. “I think about the LED’s level of brightness and intensity, quality of the optics, heat output, the effect on operator’s night vision and the angle of the light’s illumination.” When applying lights to a kayak for night fishing, Labrador cites several criteria. ![]()
