Aren't kerosene hurricane lamps suspended from a halyard (and a pair of downhauls) on the foretriangle a common and accepted form of anchor light? I'd guess that using a (brighter) electric light in the same position would probably be just fine. I've known some people to carry those little solar garden lights so that they can suspend them that way as an anchor light. I've contemplated doing the same myself (but I still have much bigger fish to fry in reducing my power consumption).
