Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but USCG requirements are the 360 degree 
anchor light at the top and the 270 degree steaming light by the spreaders. 
Somebody gave me a wonderful upgrade in the past: there's a small spot built 
into the bottom of my steaming light, wired seperately.  When I turn it on the 
entire bow lights up, DRASTICALLY improving night anchoring.  As you can 
imagine, it really helps any time I have have to go forward after dark!

There's a photo here:
