Default Technical lighting question

For my engineering friends...

I am installing a new remote bow spotlight on my 20 CC while at the same time completing a substantial repower.

My question is:

If I am able to get my boat to the speed of light at W.O.T.....will my bow spotl light still work??

Thanks for input!!

Your light will still turn on but the beam will only reach as far as the rim housing of the lamp. A black hole develops when you exceed the speed of light....which motor you running...e tech?

As you reach the speed of light time will slow and the motor will remain new much longer therefore increasing it's resale value.

Mute question. You'll hit the log before you see it.

Isn't having a sense of humor FUN! :<))

I think the light will work fine based on what you said to begin with. Others may know better than I.
