Diode for Anchor/Steaming Light???
I have a 36-foot powerboat with 12-volt systems. Note, regulations permit a single all-around steaming light for vessels under power below 12-meters (39-feet).

I would like to use a single all-around light as both anchor and steaming light. Occurs to me a diode of some sort will permit this - see the attached diagram.

QUESTIONS:
  1. Am I missing anything here?
  2. Assuming I'm on right track, any specific recommendations for Diode (URL would be great)?

Thanks in advance -
