These amazing waterproof lights run for ages and weigh practically nothing, making them perfect for training, racing and extreme endurance races like the Devises to Westminster. This light’s  primary function is for safety so that you can be seen, it’s not a super-bright headlight, but they are still surprisingly useful for illuminating nearby surfaces in low-light, like the ground when carrying the boat upside-down.
