I like just having the red light on at the chart table.that's the only cabin
light expect for the LED lantern in the head.while underway on deck the read
compass light, light from the chartplotter, engine control panel lights,
running lights, bow light, stern light, 300,000 candela spotlight at the
ready, LED flashlight.I find the high power spotlight very useful around
here at times to return home safely and to find an anchorage and also to see
along the shoreline while anchored

Everything helps I guess. We get plenty of fog and rain here and a
flashlight is usually the last tool I look for. I find that being
night-blind is worse than straining to see through the dark. On overnights,
I generally turn off all the instrument lights except the compass and have
an occasional peek below to see precisely where I am. It's surprising how
well one can see after the eyes adjust to the darkness. I install a lot of
equipment and have never understood the notion of putting everything behind
the wheel and spending helm time totally occupied by the magic of electrons.
Just me:)
