Same as for an other human powered vessel ... You need a single white "all around" light visible for 360 deg. The problem I've seen on some night-time kayaks is that the light is so low, it's hidden by the paddler from some angles. They also tend not to be as bright as the normal all around lights.


FYI I found the below; didn't find the equivalent RSA.

Saf-C 403.16 Lights on Non-Power Boats.

(a) Boats propelled by oars, paddles or other human or natural device except sails, operated on any public water, shall, between sunset and sunrise, display one white light in a conspicuous position, so placed as to show all around the horizon.
