Dave, I have not used my spreader lights while sailing(yet), but I have used them many times for social activities mostly while docked at my marina but also sometimes while at anchor socializing with a large group. That said, I normally anchor over night limiting my light and noise pollution.

Hi, My previous C&C had spreader lights and I used them before the advent of cheap, reliable, LED headlamps. My current boat has a deck light under the steaming light and I don't use it. One nice feature of ether deck or spreader is that you can light up the boat in an emergency. If you do repl

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. — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall

The purpose of spreader lights is to light up the deck at night, as when doing things like reefing the main. I also use mine to light up the deck when at the dock and taking aboard passengers or loading/unloading gear. My "spreader" lights are Forespar lights that attach to the mast instead of unde
