Our club has had this discussion on our list /ad infi-night-em/ with no 
resolution in sight, day or night.

If you are out paddling at night around here (Chesapeake Bay) the marine 
patrols will tell you to turn on "a light" and keep it on.  We usually 
do paddle with a single white light, usually mounted on the back of the 
pfd to avoid night blindness. 

Here's an experimental rig we tried around Christmas time

The blue ones were shocking, but the light-up Santa worked pretty well.
