I found that a light mounted halfway between the masthead and the spreaders makes a good place for a slack halyard to hook after swinging around the mast, a somewhat inconvenient situation. If I were to do it over again, I'd keep it just above the spreaders (maybe a foot or 18") Tod Mills M17 #408, 1987 galley model BuscaBrisas

Joe,
Kinda depends on what duties the light will be expected to perform. Anchor light, steaming light, running lights, or just a light so you can see on deck??

I'm putting in a masthead light and wondered what would be the appropriate height. I'm thinking about half way between the top and the spreader. Does is really matter?? Joe Seafrog M17
