That's almost laughable I was born at night not last night FF. So where do you think I'm cruising in the Bayou backwaters? Where do they post them NTM's for gator nets? Chute-em-in dah-ead Junior?
Bright light is just what every boater needs at night "night blindness".

Actually a good searchlight for running high speed at night in the NJ Intracoastal (which makes the Norfolk to Key West run look like a superhighway for convenience) is what I prefer over EVERY (including NV and FLIR) device out there.
I run 20-22 knots all the time and a good spotlight is the only thing that will keep you in the channel running at speed...
At 6.3 knots that I cruise in my trawler...almost all of it is just extra money spent and nice.... but ....far from needed to navigate at night if you have basic skills.
