[QUOTE="thill, post: 494934, member: 4972"] Be careful with installing blue, green or red lighting. I saw a guy get busted because his blue lighting caused a strobe effect as the boat rocked. Having exterior LED lighting while moored shouldn't be a problem, unless you have a strobing situation like the one I mentioned above. Turn then off when running. On my personal boats, I use offset amber colored floor lighting inside. They are easy on the eyes and don't kill your night vision. I often rig spot or flood lighting on boats, but ONLY for docking purposes or for a brief moment if needed to navigate. Don't run them like headlights, as that is both illegal and dangerous for other boaters. [/QUOTE]
