I could just imagine the whole hull and deck lit up, no problem seeing you at anchor in the night.

Actually if you had the mast or a portion of it done, it might be alright.

You could paint the mast in a cool design!

Paint the inside of your bimini.

Paint a stripe around your dinghy.

Paint under your counters, inside your cabinets, inside your deep lockers, etc... anywhere you need a little extra light.
