An unassisted launch on a paved strip is not difficult.

I have an ASW 19, with GC hook and wingtip skids.

The first step is to get your handy dandy Home Depot caster out and stick it onto the wingtip with double sided tape.

Communication with the tow pilot is critical - you want to go from zero to fast as quickly as possible. The standard practice of pulling out the slack, stopping, announcing you are taking off, is not good here. You want once the slack is out you want to go - like a contest tow. The trick is to get aileron and rudder authority quickly, which means a fast start.

And once you have control authority it doesn't matter how close those lights are, because you're not going to hit them.
