i think what’s more important is that you are seen. it’s unreal how many people run around with zero navigation lights in low light conditions

In dark I turn my electronics on night mode for less glare on windshield. Run the radar overlay.

I have a LED dimmable puck light underneath hard top that can turn red or white. I have found the red works awesome in dark conditions. Your eyes adjust right away.

Those spot lights seem a bit silly and look more for show than anything.

Agreed. If you watch a tow boat at night the required lights are on the tree and maybe one on the back deck. The wheelhouse is a dim, soft glow. Nothing shining ahead but the nav lights. I love that look! Professionals!

Yup. Good to have a radar reflector mounted, as well.
