I don’t have them to use, but my steaming light does a fair job lighting up the foredeck. If there is some kind of tangled up mess with a chute or something we might turn it on to see what is what. Traditional spreader lights are good to make your boat visible to others if needed or cleaning up after a nighttime party.

One other thought to mention: if you’re sailing at night and want to confirm that another boat sees you, you can light up the sails pretty effectively using the deck light, as well.

Possibly you could use it when sailing if you have some major sail change coming (but then a red light might be more appropriate). Marek Ottawa, ON
