Where I boat there is a problem with an anchor light at night attracting bugs. It can be so bad that I do not even use my anchor light any more. The boat top will or can be covered with thousands of dead flies, moths or some type of bug after a night on the hook, really gross.

Even though I am usually anchored very close to shore and out of the way of any traffic, I would prefer to have something saying I am there. I realize this is not technically legal but definitely better than no light at all. Personally I do believe a flashing light is more visible than a steady one.

My plan is to add and adjustable flasher module to the light circuit right behind the dash at the switch wiring. The module would allow me to adjust the time on and time off of the light. Something like 5 seconds on and then 10 seconds off however would need to experiment to see what works best for visibility and no bugs. I guess i could put in a 3-way anchor light switch which allows me to choose either standard non flashing or flashing. Do not even know if this will work for not attracting bugs but assume it will be better than a light on all the time.

Here is the module I found. https://czh-labs.com/products/dc-45-30v ... her-module
