The purpose of the bimini is for sun protection, no? In that case, when the
sun goes down, if I were going to be out on the water, I'd take down the
bimini.

If you're leaving the bimini up at night 'cause it might rain, then I'd
invest in a rain jacket.

John, you're forgetting that we are talking about Florida here. The
sun always shines, and this time of year it always rains at least once
a day.

Biminis stay up.

If it's daytime, is an all around anchor light needed?

In limited visibility, such as rain, yes.

In that case, I'd put together something with a little clamp and a plug for
a cigarette lighter. Put it up when I needed it, on the front or back of
the bimini.

Actually, my Bimini only stays up in the summer but it has permanent
supports so I can walk under the collapsed and covered bimini, so I
think I can attach the light to the permanent supports. Now, can
anybody reccomend a GOOD light?

I would think something like this would work.

Mount it on a piece of aluminum and clamp it to the bimini top. Plug it in
to the cigarette lighter when needed. Nice and portable.
