I was thinking of a really damn bright light (i.e. so even the crazy
weekend powerboaters from Miami will see it)...a battery sized to match
(12hoursX draw/H) & stored in a cockpit lazarette & coupled with a small
solar panel. That way I can have a bright anchor-light while not drawing
power from my house batteries.

Problem solved.....

Draws no power...runs 30 hours on a "charge"

Haul it up on a halyard....

Have you actually tried it? We tried a couple of oil lamps last
summer. They wouldn't stay lit in the slightest breath of wind.
