    If putting a searchlight on your ship makes the ship a

    Not only that, something like a star shell would be
    harder for the enemy to extinguish than a mechanical
    search light.  (trouble is, it is unidirectional.
    Therefore it could very well illuminate *you* as well)

Combat ranges make other sensors more efficent.
