Deadlights are any ports that don't open, and used to either see out or let light into the cabin/hull of a boat. Alternatively, storm covers for opening portlights are sometimes referred to as deadlights, but not as common a usage IIRC.
 The things in the deck that let light in are deck prisms..
What is a Killick??

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

The classic "Killick" is being exhibited by my height challenged First Mate Abby in the picture below as she licks the deck. The compulsive licking has already resulted in a fist sized hairball that was surgically removed over a year ago and even the Admiral says - no more operations..... so she will lick herself to death one of these days. The Psychotropic type drugs failed and the Admiral says no to my suggestion of Valium ... so......

Killick is the same as a kellogg hitch ( I think ) and is used to tie off or hoist odd shaped objects

A Killick is a small anchor used in boats and is also the onboard nickname for a Leading Seaman.
A Blue Heeler is a dog.
