The only time I ever used my deck light was when I docked late in the evening
(at dark) and used the light when clearing the boat after the sail (putting on
the main sail cover, coiling all lines etc.). Possibly you could use it when
sailing if you have some major sail change coming (but then a red light might
be more appropriate).

Dave — I’ve got the LED combo deck/steaming light I replaced last winter; and
yes, I do occasionally use it to light the deck at night. More often when
sailing at night, I’ll use a red LED headlamp, though, to save night vision.

Good Day all,
Set Windstar ('85 33-2) on the hard yesterday, mast down. A rewire of the
mast has been on the to-do list for awhile. I noted (again) two long-unused
conductors poking out of the mast below the lower spreaders. No light
fixture, but there is a labelled breaker in the panel.
I can imagine unusual situations where one might need these but so far I have
not missed them. Perhaps though, ignorance is bliss.
Do you use yours? Tx as always.
