I pre-ordered one of the rectangular lantern-types; should arrive about the time spring does here in MD. For inside the cabin, I've been considering experimenting with something like these (http://www.mpja.com/5M-White-LED-Lighting-Strip-12VDC/productinfo/19434%20OP...) from Marlin P. Jones. Available in red, also. ----- John Tyner M-15 #412 "Chimpanzee" On 2/21/2015 11:03 AM, Thomas Buzzi wrote:
Good points. Amazing how DARK a moonless night can be. A return light to help find a dinghy on a beach would be a good idea. Once upon a time I was tent camping in the Minnesota Boundary Waters and went for a short hike just at dusk. I was out only about 20 minutes when I realized I had lost my way in the now totally dark woods. Fortunately the tiny candle lantern I had hung from the tent fly before I left showed me that I had gotten totally turned around. It was the only "light in the forest" at that moment. Relief!
Fair winds, Tom B

A great "hands free" emergency light that could be tied off anywhere on the boat light is needed....hoist up on a halyard, secure to a dinghy for trips to shore at dusk. So many options!

Wonder if it's bright enough to hoist as an anchor light? A red one for nighttime use would be nice, too. ----- John Tyner M-15 #412 "Chimpanzee"

What a great idea for the boat etc. If you didn't happen to see this on Shark Tank tonight, there is a video of the product on the website. http://luminaid.com
