I'm So Excited About These!!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Aqua Signal LED Portable Stern Light (Suction Cup Mount) (Sports)
So I ordered four of these in total, for two kayaks: two white stern lights (these lights), and two red/green bow lights. I spent the next couple of days trying to figure out how to mount the lights before they actually arrived. My reasoning was that there was no way I'd be lucky enough for these suction cup mounts to actually stick to our plastic kayaks. Surely that would only work on the fiberglass models. So with expectations firmly in check, I came up with a couple of decent, but not perfect, temporary solutions involving the deck rigging and maybe a carabiner or two.Well, then they arrived. I put the batteries in one and turned it on. It's bright! Good! Now how to mount it on the kayak... In my garage, I stuck one on to the Old Town kayak. Much to my surprise, the force of suction was so strong that I couldn't just pull it off! I had to peel the suction cup base up a little to kill the vacuum. Then I tried it on the Necky kayak with the same results! This is great -- they stay on with such force that I have no problem using them without rigging or anything else. Both of my kayaks are hanging sideways on the garage wall, and the suction cups will hold indefinitely with the lights hanging sideways, parallel to the ground! I have added an image of the light doing just that. Note that the light can be mounted either horizontally or vertically - there are two sets of screw threads to attach the suction cup to, one on the bottom of the light and one on the side. The lights have proven their seaworthiness. They are waterproof. The manufacturer claim is that they float. I have no reason to doubt that claim, but guess what? They don't come off the kayak unless I want them to, so I don't know! Ha! With 4 AA's, they're sure to last a good long time, too. I'd recommend getting alkalines or lithiums (GASP! I never thought I'd say that) over rechargeables, only because with infrequent use, the NiMH batteries tend to self-discharge over time, and you'll have to keep recharging them before every outing. If you don't mind doing that, then it's cool, but I already have to charge my GPS batteries, walkie batteries, camera batteries, flashlight batteries, etc., so I'll stick with the alkalines so I don't have to recharge an additional 16 batteries (remember, 4 lights!) every week or so. Lastly, if you're going to have these out in the sun a lot (why?), or if you'll be using them in saltwater, the manual recommends using a silicon spray protectant of some kind to keep it in good shape, and give it a thorough washing after use. Probably a good idea - salt water destroys everything. Oh, and take care with the top when installing the batteries. It only goes on one way, and there's a tab that fits into a groove in the base. Don't go trying to force anything or you might damage it.

Works much better than an older version that I had before. Very bright light and suction cup works well.

Nice light, bad application,

This review is from: Aqua Signal LED Portable Stern Light (Suction Cup Mount) (Sports)
Let me start by saying I did not look at my kayak closely prior to ordering a suction cup model. The light works perfectly and is very durable and a nice design. Now, if I'd looked closer at my kayak I'd have known the surfaces are not really designed for a suction cup attachment. Off to the drawing board and I'm confident I can get this to work with a homemade attachment of sorts. I've used the light several times and the batteries last for quite a long time. And, it works well for loading the kayak on the car in the dark after I'm finished.My advice: Don't be dumb like I was and assume the suction cup base will work. Otherwise I highly recommend this little light.
