I have applied 3M reflective tape (white) as a border on my cabin sides and plan on doing it parallel to my accent stripe on the hull this layup. With very little ambient light it shows up well. It makes for finding the boat in an anchorage easy -- just scan with a flashlight and it lights right up. Bob PDQ 36 Peace

We used to hang a davis light from the boom about 6 inches down, as well as the masthead light.. Don't think it made that much difference... anyone going thru an anchorage needs to pay super close attention.

Especially on a small boat at 20 mph at nite. It's insane to sleep on a boat with JUST AN ANCHOR LITE! an anchor lite looks like a star. Blends right in. personally, I never felt anchor lights should be white. Maybe yellow?? but they are not. Sailboaters, use spreader lites, lcd ropoe lighting, anything, light up your vessels. , on the water, not up in the air 30 ft. You will sleep better and safer. See you on the Waterways! Capt.
