Lights for kayaks

Hi Can anyone suggest lights for kayaks and or my buoyancy aid? Links would be super useful! I used my bike lights last week and they did not like the water and have stopped working.

    Ones I use are £5-6.

    If you're struggling to waterproof bike lights try pet harness lights. They have a little o ring and run on two standard cr2032 button batteries (tape them together). Flashing or continuous. I clip one to my BA.

    oh that's a fab idea thanks :-)

    I bought some of these: https://www.escape-watersports.co.uk/accessories/lights/clip-on-lights - they pretty bright. You can have them flash or reverse the batteries and Geta continuous beam.

    they take cr 2032 batteries. I just bought a battery charger and some rechargeable batteries - hopefully they work well.

    they are good lights

    I didn't realise you could get rechargeable CR3032s, that's good to know as that was my main concern about those lights (I was given a pair recently that I still need to attach.)

    it is still a work in progress - I sent the recharger back as it did not work well. finding a new one. they do not last as long apparently. will let you know how I get on.

    The rechargeable are called LR2032, but they are very difficult to get hold of. My logitech keyboard uses one.
