The problem with operating headlights, I suspect, is night blindness
caused by bright lights. I know from my days on the rigs and running
the Venice Canal that when you get hit with a strong white light on a
dark night, your night vision is shot to hell for a while.

I dunno - maybe it's something that needs to be researched.

Of course the easiest solution is to slow down.

Even slow, you are trying to stay in the channel. And not hit something in
the water.

I should note, that having lights doesn't mean you need to go faster at
night, just you can see what is right in front of you while you move
along...
