Where I run, coastal NC, we have gillnets, crab bouys, oyster bars, and sand bars. I run no lights at all when out on plane or moving faster then a no wake speed. Might be because I learned the waters and know where these things are, not sure if possible your way. But any light will diminish or flat out ruin night vision, think of it like driving with your cab lights on.
The choice is yours, yes you can do it, I don't recommend it and won't advice you on how to do it. If the waters you run are navigable, be careful as you may find your violating navigable water laws by running any lights.
