You want to put as little light as possible on the water. Some try to get away with turning all boat lights off. I don't recommend this, but state it to show how deeply some feel about artificial light on the water. I have a special anchor light that only puts out light on the top half of the globe. Some people install paper plates just under the globe to limit light shining on the water. I'm not sure what spectrums stripers see, but I would think they have some ultra violet spectrum capacities.
