The Kayalite XT Dual Height Kit is a user-configurable, bright white, 360°, portable stern light for any watercraft classified by the U.S. Coast Guard as a "vessel under oars" including dinghy, kayak, sit-on-top, stand-up paddleboard, racing shell, canoe, rowboat or surfski.
With this dual-height kit, a Kayalite XT can be assembled, based on user preference, to either 21 inches or 28 inches.
The 28-inch pole assembly of the Kayalite XT is designed for mounting on a flat surface, such as the top of a hatch or SOT crate cover, canoe bench or flat deck area.
The 21-inch assembly of the Kayalite XT is designed for mounting on a substantially flat or slightly contoured surface.
The Kayalite XT provides all the features of the original 18-inch Kayalite model, including Kayalu's patented "Secure-Attach™" mounting system; impact-proof construction; diffusion lens developed in collaboration with Tektite Industries, Inc.; and Tektite 2-LED module.
And like the original Kayalite, the Kayalite XT is submersible, buoyant, loss-proof, and virtually indestructible.
The Kayalite XT in any configuration (height, LED module, lens) meets and/or exceeds requirements under U.S. Coast Guard Navigation Rule 25 for vessels under oars (i.e. kayak, SUP, SOT, surfski, racing shell, canoe, rowboat, dinghy, etc.).
The Kayalite XT Dual Height Kit requires minor assembly. Marine-grade stainless steel bolts, nylon-insert locknuts, a custom-size wrench, and step-by-step assembly instructions are included. A Phillips screwdriver is required for assembly.
NOTE: While it is possible to assemble this kit to one of two different heights, and to reassemble the Kayalite XT in order to test which height is optimal for your application, we do not recommend routine disassembly and reassembly of a Kayalite XT (or any factory-assembled Kayalite model). Marine-grade, stainless steel, nylon-insert locknuts are subject to wear if repeatedly unscrewed and re-screwed with stainless steel bolts. If disassembly is required after use, rinse nuts and bolts with fresh water and wipe clean of any residue before reassembling.
Our patented fastening system clips beneath the Kayalite XT's base to an existing eyelet, deck loop, pad eye, topside drain plug or other fixed point of attachment.
Once clipped, the Kayalite's shock cord is pulled taut and cinched.
If you would like to install an eyelet on your deck, bench, hatch cover or other mounting surface, we offer a marine-grade Eyebolt Kit with do-it-yourself instructions.
A foam cushion under the Kayalite XT's base is designed to protect the surface from scratches.
The Kayalite XT's base enables the light to be used free standing, so it can serve double-duty at a campsite table, in a tent — even as a weatherproof torch for a midnight hike in rain, sleet or snow.
