My best tool for night is good 7X50 binoculars. It is amazing how much you can 
see at night with good ones.

Everything helps I guess. We get plenty of fog and rain here and a flashlight 
is usually the last tool I look for. I find that being night-blind is worse 
than straining to see through the dark. On overnights, I generally turn off all 
the instrument lights except the compass and have an occasional peek below to 
see precisely where I am. It's surprising how well one can see after the eyes 
adjust to the darkness. I install a lot of equipment and have never understood 
the notion of putting everything behind the wheel and spending helm time 
totally occupied by the magic of electrons. Just me:)
