We use a similar bike headlight to light up the headsail at night.  Works
great!

The wire that comes with the Windex light is too short.  I need to splice
in another piece of wire.
I hope to finish the mast wiring tomorrow.  The old wire for the steaming
light broke, but I was able to grab the messenger line that I ran the
length of the mast and tape the new wire to it.​
