Yes it is legal, please be careful many tasks are more difficult in the darkness.

Crabbing with a light being illegal is an old wife's tale dating back into the 1960's when I first heard it. And probably before that.   Because its supposed to be soooo easy.   So is having too many traps ( NOT Comm pots) at once being supposedly limited.  There is none.
