Kayak Nav / safety light
Description
I Need 360° White Light To Meet Navigation Requirements For My Morning Kayak Trips. I Work This Up In Autodesk Fusion 360. Did Several Rough Prints Using An Ultamaker 2+, With The Final Copy Being Printed With A Formmaker Resin Printer. The Led Is A T10 Base 12 V Automotive Light Purchased On Ebay For A Couple Of Dollars. I Also Purchased A T 10 Socket On Ebay Again For A Couple Dollars. I Took Apart A 9 V Battery To Get The Terminals Solder Them To The Socket, And Used Jb Weld To Fasten It To The Underside Of The Cap. I Used Closed Cell Foam In The Battery Box Just To Secure The 9 V. The Light Dome Is The Cap Off Of A Dry Erase Cleaner Bottle. I Scuffed The Inside With Sand Paper For A Bit More Glow. To Use The Light I Simply Clip The Onto The 9 V And The Light Lights Up. Battery Life Is More Than Five Hours, Light Output Seems Right For A Navigation Light. The Base Is Sized To Fit Into A Mast Made From Half Inch Pvc. I Simply Fasten That Pvc Mast To My Fishing Crate, The Mast Also Holds The Safety Flag, And It Works Very Very Well. If You Make One, Take A Picture And Let Me Know, Please No Commercial Use Without Contacting Me.
