It is not illegal to use spot lights for navigation in fact it is mandatory on Navigable water ways for commercial traffic to see mile markers and buoys. This applies to all vessels that are on the water at night regardless of waterway, navigable or land locked.

This is one of the subjects that is studied when acquiring your USCG Capt's license. It is also mandatory to have your port/starboard (Red and green) lights on when under way as well as your stern light. And your stern light on when anchored. <'TK><
