ABSTRACT:
A reflector device that is easily attached and/or removed from a boat's anchor lightpole, deck railing, or any other suitably sized exterior feature. The device "shines" only when illuminated by the spot/search light of an approaching boat, to provide a visual identification in dark or unfavorably lit conditions. The device supplements, but does not replace traditional electric or battery operated anchor lights, and serves as a stand-by should the traditional light fail. The device is passive, activated only when illuminated by the spot/search light of an approaching vessel.
