The stern light is part of the navigation lights you have on when you are under way at night. It can only be seen from the stern of the boat, hence the stern light. The anchor light can be seen from 360 degrees, and is the only light that should be on when anchored. The anchor light is separate from the navigation lights, and they should never be on at the same time.
