USCG Recommendation
The minimum requirement for kayaks and canoes (whether paddling or adrift) conforms with U.S. Coast Guard Rules for a "vessel under oars" requiring "an electric torch or lighted lantern showing a white light which shall be exhibited in sufficient time to prevent collision."
...Thats it...Pretty simple No red and green lights on the bow unless you are under power. ![]() An all around light is always a good idea at night...required or not... ![]()

I’m curious if anyone has been stealth launching lajolla at night? Wish I still had my kayak.

In SE Florida, the prime offshore Bait - Goggle eyes primarily feed in darkness. So if one does not want to pay $8each for baits, they are launching in the dark off the beach. To be on the water 2 hours prior to sunrise is the norm.
