This works well, and is mandatory in some ocean races. Bit much, though
It sits in a SS bracket on my boat and also has a floating light attached to a long lead of its own.
The arrangement has an amusing side effect: the light must be tethered upside down so as not to activate the batteries. In choppy sea, the transom will give it a kick every time it rises, so we have an unintended "rough sea strobe". When it begins to flash with the waves, we know things are reasonably rough
