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.
