I just did my own but with an improvement. I placed an 1156 socket so that way when the bulb goes out it's just a swap.

This is an awesome idea. I have watched lots of kayak videos and this is one of the best kayak improvements I have seen.

Thank you so much for this idea. I made this over the last week. I'm impressed with it and your design.

As always, great video and great idea! My sons and I watch your videos daily to help us add to our fishing fun! Really can’t thank you enough!

Really enjoyed the video going to give it a try. Have a good day and stay safe Jimmy from Massachusetts

Awesome Light. Going to put one on my kayak. Thanks for the helpful video.

Dude, you are the man. Another great idea and build that outperforms anything that you could buy. I am in the middle of making mine. I went with a 1" PVC pipe for the LED strip light to wrap around. I also used a 4 way 1/2" T, and added two switches, one for the strip lights and one for the Nav light. I don't have a 12V battery yet, tried my house alarm's 12V battery, but it is so old that it is only kickin' out 7.56V! So I wired my lighting up to the alarm system where the 12V battery would otherwise be connected to. I did this to ensure that all my wire to wire and wire to switch connections were solid before gluing everything together. I bought LED strip lights that had a plug style connection, so I just grabbed an old charger of some sort that fit the LED, and it works great.

Nice job on the video, and I’m glad you made the update. I was planning to follow your original video, using just the top light. Now, I think I’ll go ahead and add the led strips just in case. If nothing else, it will be good have the extra lights when I’m unloading the kayak in the dark. Please keep cranking out the videos. I enjoy them.

Great intro lol, Man that switch is perfect. Awesome DIY share! Wow that's bright!

My brother my brother 👍👍👍 man you always comingbup with something lol i look forward to your videos seriously!!! Very informative and innovative!!! I need to get me a bright long lasting light for my late spring early summer fishing hunts... Appreciate you brother great job!!!

Man do I love watching your videos! This is going to be my new nav light for my Jon boat... *Thank You* for sharing all that you do!!!

What a great DIY video. I'm going to make this light this weekend. Keep them coming

Awesome project something new for me to learn💯Thank you for sharing💯🔥👊🏽😊

Solid work!! Crazy how stuff is almost made to fit other stuff. If you ever have a plastic gas can and lose the cap to the end of the plastic tube a 3/4" PVC cap fits perfect. I've been using one for 10 years and haven't lost it yet.

You really made a great light. Your instructions are great. I am going to build one for myself. Thanks for the idea.

You come up with some really cool ideas, I especially like this one.

Another great DIY project and improve your night fishing. Great job brother

There you go again.... making something brilliant! Great work!

This video is absolutely fantastic thank you for sharing my friend

Nice... i want a setup like that for when we go camping!

You are a genius at DIY projects.

Once again...mind blown!!! Thank you for sharing this!

I gotta admit you pretty dog gone smart and creative. Well done and please keep the DIY's coming

Keep the videos coming! I enjoy them! Your like a fishing Macgyver! I made the floating gopro holder, it worked really well!

This is awesome. We are planning a 3day 2 night river trip so this will be awesome. Thanks

👍🏼#5..... That adds light to the situation for sure and you explained it well enough to make it simple....

the armor all cap is absolutely brilliant.

I'm watching this video now. Awesome stuff, thanks.

Nav light is looking good, pretty bright!

You come up with some amazing ideas brother, very cool.

You're awesome dude, looked at all of your DIY's, everything you touch is made better. You're the guy that other guys want to come over and hang out with and drink beer and make cool shit. Keep em' coming bro...

Pretty cool I'm going to have to save this to watch when I have more time

Thanks for sharing sir, you're doing an immaculate job 👍👍👍

Great build!!!! Thanks for sharing with us! W

What an awesome light!, the armor all cap was genius, and who doesn't use armor all anyway so it ain't goin to waste. Great video, look forward to making one one day

I am getting into kayak fishing. I have two Lightning Strikes ordered. My wife wouldn’t go for me getting one unless I got a extra one for my Son or someone else. My Late Fathers best friend died while fishing by hisself and he didn’t go for fishing alone. This is a great idea and I am subscribed to your videos. I am just blown away by how many people share ideas. I think this is why I am drawn to this sport. Thank you for your great ideas. Learning a lot and boats hasn’t come in yet. Hope I got a good one!

I want to build something like this, my dad needs it for his canoe. Thank you! 👍

Big ty, i made 1 used it same day,and yes it worked gr8. The box project is next

Awesome vid mate. Great DIY. I’m definitely making myself one of them. 👍🏻👍🏻🇦🇺

Thanks Kieth, I’ve been thinking about some kind of light for filming while night fishing, since summer will be here before you know it. Looks like would work like a charm for back lighting.

Man you sound like home cooking to "dis" here displaced Arkansan! Thanks "fo da" videos brother... will be using lots of this info in my build.

First off. Love all your videos. Thank you for taking the time to make and share them with us. From this video to today you have developed a really great video presence. It’s your personality I think. Love it. Tom

That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing!

I will have to try this!! Great idea bud!!

Soldering is never overkill,it’s piece of mind. Especially when dealing with DC voltage and moisture. On a side note.. when I solder I connect the wire horizontally, twist together,solder then shrink tube. Takes up less room.

Another great idea 👍😉🎣🎣🎣

Outstanding concept. Thanks for sharing.

love the nav light. Like you I kayak fish and have a 17 Lowe Mod V ALUM bass boat, luv to Crappie and Catfish fish at night.

That’s awesome. Wish I’d thought of that earlier! One thing I thought of is on the strip light, you could paint on layers of epoxy to make it 100% secure and more protected.

Thats freaking awesome man. Im gonna make me one. Thats handy!!

Great idea! Love it!

Like 15. Great job my friend! Thanks for sharing. 👌👌

Looks like my next project! That's awesome! Thanks!

I just made one last weekend. That was a brilliant idea! Now when my friends see it, and ask how the hell I came up with that idea, I just point them to your channel. Many thanks man!👍

You are a hoot! Great practical ideas!

Damn son.....I’m making one of these for my kayak tomorrow! Great idea and a great video!!!!

I like it.. great diy again

Very cool fab love to see and make stuff work improvising is a gift SUBSCRIBED 👍👍

Ok you answered my question from the last video it is break light. But no bugs yea I need 2 or 4. Lupas I have my eyes going bad so got to be able to see I bet that will. Sir I'm so glad I found your channel not long ago wished ide found you 10 years ago. I no KZfaq wasn't nothen back them. But with your diy and rod holders vidoes house made KZfaq bigger. But good job and thank you. God bless

Nice video! Very good explanation of how to make it. Just subscribed.

Another great idea, thanks.

That's super cool man! That looks super handy!

Great video and you know what? I "waller" down stuff almost everyday :)

Awesome DIY. Thumbs up

Sweet build! Thanks

Absolutely Brilliant!

Love this project. Love this channel. I recommend Corrosion-X on all exposed wires and contacts, especially in saltwater

Thanks for the great idea. I made one change. For fitting the led brake light, I used a heat gun to soften the 1/2 in. PVC pipe, the simply pushed the base of the light into the PVC and held it there until cooled and pipe once again hard. I'm sure I'm not the first. I actually prefer the single brake light vs. the strip light. My strip light became so hot after 20 minutes that the 3/4" pipe soften and bent. I was testing the battery. I'm sure it will work if I o ly use it a few minutes for video.

You could use the clear shrink tube you put on the light for fishing crappie at night. I just stumbled on this video after seeing most of your others. That shrink tubing would just add some extra protection from the weather as well. Hoping to use your ideas after I can get a kayak and get back to fishing. Love watching your diys!

Another Bright Idea using easy 2 get materials....LED's are amazing with the amount of light & the lack of juice required to produce the required results & You can use small Deep Cycle batteries to power them!!

That came out awesome.

nice light. thanks for sharing.

I built this, and it works extremely well. I fish in saltwater, and found that the led strip is not as waterproof as the manufacturer would have us believe. I had to re-solder an led connection that corroded under the clear material covering the strip, and resulted in half the strip going out. My solution was to order a marine grade clear shrink tube from Amazon. The shrink tube has a clear heat activated glue lining the inside that seals everything off from the elements, it's also pretty thick, so it protects the led's from bumps in the night. I've had it working now for about a year with no problems.

Awesome I think I’ll make me two one for each of my bost

great idea, I'm doing it! thanks for sharing

ArmourAll cap is awesome. Cheers from Canada!!

Love the way you worked that cap out brother! PRO PROPS!!!

Nice light, thanks

I love it. Great video!

Over here in Australia we have to have the white nav light as you call it, here it's an anchor light & the nav lights are the red green port starboard lights. So if you can find a neat way to make those DIY then great, all powered boats by law need the red green nav lights that are greater than 54 lumens so that they can be seen for 2 miles. I'm making a 10 foot longtail catamaran that also has hydro foils with a 13 HP motor which should reach about 40mph while it's off the water.

Great job!

HaHaHa the cap off the bottle of Armor All, love it! Great job with all you videos buddy, really glad I subscribed 👌

Fine job indeed.

Love it! Great DIY and also Sub

That's great I need to make one for my kayak!!!!

I appreciate you brother. Built this today waiting for hurricane Dorian to move on past. Can't wait to night fish now!

Awesome idea!

Good job 👍👌👌👍

Awesome Video

Freaking awesome! Great job!

Really loved this one I just ordered my materials and I will post back with a picture of it if I can figure how to do it. I’m making slightly different I will have 2 bulbs in addition to the strip leds. They will be switchable and I will also mount them in sockets for a easier way to replace or update the bulbs in future. I will be using #16 silicone insulated wire for the project and I will be adding a fuse to the power lead. The 1157 bulbs I found on Amazon are 2000 lumens so I’ll have enough light I may add a dimmer to it if I can find one that I can fit it. I will also see if I can make it strobe for better visibility. On the little lakes I go to I’m not worried about being hit as they don’t allow gas motors. But I do fish on some rivers and bays that have every boat you can think of and a lot of drunk drivers.

Definitely building one for my yak

always great video, I hit the like button,

Kool light

Best damn kayak Mac light in the world! Definitely doing this mod. 🤯

I needed to replace the Nav light on my Pontoon boat, I decided I didn't like it on the Bimini frame. So I ordered up an LED replacement that said it was BRIGHT. Oh it surely is! Best part is it is bright enough to use for a general light for fishin. Even with my old eyes, I can find stuff in my Tackle boxes. LED's are the bomb for fishin.

wow good job

Dude, that some really good work

OK, got my bulbs, strip lights, and switch ordered. I am ready to build this.

that's awesome!!! need that on my kayak
