just remember it is not legal to have lights on like head
lights while you are under way. The only light that you can
have on are the running(red &green) while underway.

Which rule is that?

Thanks. I think this would fall under the 'common sense' rule.
Unfortunately we don't see much of that anymore and we end up having
rules like 'Don't burn yourself on this scalding hot coffee'. I want
to strictly use them for docking and had considered a handheld
floodlight. I thought it'd be more convenient to not have to store
away the lantern with the limited storage I have. Besides, I thought
it'd just be kind of cool too... and isn't that what's most important?
