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><

I have seen barges on the TN River with huge spotlights illuminating the whole river. Reminded me of the searchlights on our tanks. I no longer fish at night. When I did, I used a 1 million Candle Power hand held search light.
