Another thing to keep in mind is that while I always confirm my bow lights

the
way forward in less than ideal conditions or asking a less experienced
person to do so to confirm the bow lights are on. The masthead is easy to
confirm of course, as is the stern light.

I find that in "less than ideal" conditions I can usually see the bow
lights reflected in the spray.

Can't even see the pulpit when there's fog. LOL

I guess in that situation, the lights won't matter either way.
