When the
 squid night bite is goin on most people just have a headlamp on. I'm not saying its legal, that just what I have noticed. At least when you are launching from LJ its usually light when going out and dark when coming in, and unlike the bays there is not much traffic(just a different kind of traffic)and it seems safe to me. I bring my headlamp and one of those Lifegear battery powered glowsticks just in case. Just my 2 cents

I love night fishing, though I do most of mine in the winter for bass. Not only make yourself as visible as possible, use your ears. I only use a headlamp, but as soon as I hear a boat I make sure to look at it a few times. If it looks like it might get too close I just move farther away.

I wrapped some reflective tape on my paddle, keep a 360 light on, and use a head lamp. When I'm out at night I keep my PFD on too.

While reading up on this topic I came across this publication on the California Department of Boating and Waterways web site. Look at the following pages (pages listed at the bottom) for lighting for a kayak; 27 & 42.
