Hobo, I have been squidding for over forty years, do very well at it, and have never owned a light. Most dock areas have plenty of lights and I catch heaps of them without any more light brought by me or others. You will not need a light at Stonington or Gallilee docks. You are quite astute to see that often many squid are caught at the edges of the shadows rather than right under a bright light in the water. I have caught many in pitch dark conditions with no lights around, if they are there and hungry they will bite. I do prefer a lit dock though, but dislike the green tubes people put in the water, never have done well around those green things, although others may like them. I'd invest in a wider jig collection rather than a light.
