Expert Reply:
We have several styles of magnetic tow lights that you can consider for use on your pickup that carries and canoe and tows a log splitter.
Most of these have a 20-foot 4-pole flat type trailer connector, such as # TL21RK (which I like for its strong heavy-duty magnets and low price). We also have a Hopkins wireless kit # C6304, available at a higher price point, which requires use of 8 AA batteries but which gives a range of up to 65-feet.
We also have amber warning light products, also featuring magnetic bases, such as # C43A which is battery powered. This unit is powered by 2 D batteries (not included) that feed its 21 high-efficiency LEDs. Four different flashing patterns are available. For a hard-to-see towed item like a log splitter this may be a better option, or one can be used along with a set of tow lights.
I have linked our main pages for both magnetic lights and emergency lights so you can see all available options.
An additional way to add visibility to your canoe and splitter is to apply conspicuity tape like # RE418T to the rear-facing parts of these items. This special tape is designed to be highly reflective and it will enhance the increased visibility from your lights.
