Innovative Lighting Portable LED Stern Light f/Inflatable

We are using this light on our dinghy if we anchor somewhere and use the dinghy after dark. It did not come with the glue required to fix the foot to the dinghy, so we have not mounted the foot to the dinghy. I rather mount it on the dinghy tube than the outboard engine, which is what some folks are doing...

This is the second example of the same crappy product. Was hoping it would have gotten better. Nope. Bought it last year. Put it in a plastic zip lock and therein my dinghy storage. I may have used it once last year and pulled it out again this past weekend. Would not turn on. Took the cap off and pieces fell out. It self-destructed while sitting idle. The other unit (for my other RIB) II gutted and threw an LED flashlight in there. Now that one works. Guess I will do the same here.ED…IT: So contacted the manufacturer who replied immediately (Head of National Sales) and was all over the problem. Sent it in and they are replacing the broken bits. Given the great customer service I upped the stars to 3. Let us see how round 3 with the light in the field goes.

This is an affordable replacement. The reason it is getting a lower rating is that even in daylight the holes in the rubber base are difficult to see when inserting the retainer clip. The remedy was a dab of white silicon sealant.

These work fine but after years of use, but like anything may not work anymore especially after long use in a saltwater or hot sun-baking environment. But for quick use on sort term outings such as a kayak or canoe after which they are stored in a cool environment after first being washed in fresh water and then being dried- they are are a terrific safety device and very convenient. Be cautious with suction cup mounting and to be more confident, it is recommended to search for, or to invent a m…ore reliable mounting method.

My 22 foot deck boat has a stern/cruising light on mounted on the back support for my bimini top. The wire runs through the middle of the bimini support pole around to the side of the boat... but if you forget to unplug the wire and remove the bimini... it rips the wires and damages the plug. Having paid to fix it a few times over the years I was determined to get something LED and battery powered to replace it. I bought this light... pulled off the bottom stand and discovered the existing s…tern light pole fits perfectly into the bottom of this light. I cut the existing light off the pole... drilled a hole in the pole... got a clevis pin... and poof... mounted this LED light right on top. Now I can remove the light and store it in the house (so it doesn't rust out on the inside)... and when I want to go out a night... it takes just a few minutes to attach it. Very satisfied with this purchase.

As described, still doing good after a month of heavy use.

Light is ok, but not waterproof.

This light puts out a nice bright amount of light. However, it is not waterproof. Only used a couple of times before it stopped working due to water damage. If you plan on mounting it somewhere where it won’t get splashed, you should be okay.

Used for a few weeks. Great product, rubber mount can be rubber cemented on. Not thief proof at all, modify or remove. Moisture forms under lens after rain. Many near me put bag over when not in use.
