Jim, That sounds like a great solution for a safe dinghy light!
I once put together an Abandon Ship kit when I was going to sea for a living. It included a very warm cap with a strobe light attached to the top of it. It got a good laugh from the guys on the bridge when I demonstrated it, but I have a feeling that if I ever had to use it (and the other items, including a VHF) I would be the life of the party.
