Under Water Lights: Must or Bust?

Boat_light2bg_3 I've started to notice a lot of boats with underwater lights, and I though to myself, Hey, that's cool, because  it was at night and there were thousands of little fish swimming and playing in the light.  I was truly entertained. 

But then I thought some more about it, what a superfluous novelty!  I mean the owners the boat weren't even aboard, they had the lights on a timer!   Sure there is some elegance to it with mega yachts, but on a small boat I feel it's a bit tacky, like those 'fast and furious' style cars with lights under them. 

Do people think underwater lights are cool?  What about boat size, would they look good on a 33 Back Cove? How about a 26 Back Cove?

Cool! I'd like to spend some time on such a boat!

You can use a big flashlight to the same effect - they are REALLY annoying in multiple-boat anchorages/mooring fields where some people like to star gaze.....

The lights really are fun, especially for the children. You can get a great look at a lot of really interesting critters.
