This is indeed an effective and easy way to make an object to look luminous in game, but such a lights are always "on".
If you are looking for a more polished method to make ship lights to shine only at night, you can experiment with the CityLights controller. I have been looking into game files for its usage, and I think I have understood the way it works and how to set up objects/materials for it. If you are interested, I can explain here
I'm interested !

By the way, there are also light halos (texture) to add for position lights (green and red, and on the masts) : I don't think they can be controlled to be switched off during day time.
