Lee – You need to go out at night more. A small red headlamp works great – I just don’t like wearing lamps all the time and, if available, am willing to try this as an alternative.

Hi Pete, How short is your mast? A tiny red light at 45 feet shining on a black arrow with a 2” red reflector would likely be very hard to see. 2 cents, Lee On Dec 30, 2016, at 12:54 PM, Pete Shelquist via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com <mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com> > wrote: Thanks for suggestion.

However, for someone looking for an inexpensive Windex light, I have a suggestion. I got one of these for Christmas to use for working around the boat. < <https://www.amazon.com/Blackfire-BBM888-2-Clamp-100-Lumen-Flashlight/dp/B003ZK56CE> https://www.amazon.com/Blackfire-BBM888-2-Clamp-100-Lumen-Flashlight/dp/B003ZK56CE> I got to thinking it might illuminate the Windex from the deck. Tried it last night. It REALLY illuminated the Windex. I clamped it to the stern pulpit. Had to use a rag to help it grip. The tilt has click stops and the swivel is a bit loose so it took a bit of effort to get it aimed just right but it seemed to work fairly well. There may be other similar lights out there that will work better. What the heck, if it doesn't make a good Windex light for you, you can still use it to work around the boat. Dennis C.
