Default Running Lights - Boat Over 12 Meters

i recently took ownership of a Nordic 42 Inferno. The boat is equipped with LED running lights consisting of separate green and red lights on the bow and a automatic extending 360 degree white light at the transom. Based on how the law reads for boats over 12 meters, I am supposed to have a masthead light with a 225 degree window and a stern light while underway. When anchored, I am supposed to have a 360 degree masthead light. Honestly, I do not think I will have any issues with my current setup, but would prefer to be in compliance. What are you guys doing that have larger performance boats to meet this regulation?

Just an fyi, those auto sternlights have a tendency to get stuck, so having some kind of backup wouldnt be a bad idea.
