My understanding is that the BGA recommends lights, but with radio
back-up.
As well as being noise independent lights require only one power source
whereas radios require two, one at each end!

Same goes for lights: you need them on the winch too. They provide a back
channel, let people on the field know when the cables are live, and on
some fields are needed to control airfield traffic.

I'd be MOST unhappy to be at a club that didn't have lights on the winch.
