I've used these on a cruising sailboat with mixed results. It inevitably blinds anyone you point it at. And if there is spray in the air (like during a storm) it's almost useless. The one I had tended to get mighty hot, too. However it can be used to good advantage if entering a strange anchorage in the dark. But if there's anyone else in the anchorage you will not be a popular person.
