Shoot, guys.....was just trying to have some ground lighting that's easy to set up, functional, unobtrusive for the most part, no fuel to carry, no hiss like a Coleman lantern, not blinding, windproof, weatherproof, no smell, easy on and off, cheap, etc. . Not intending to "advertise" or attract attention. On the ground, maybe even under the van, not hanging from any awning (don't have anyway).
Besides...it was the girlfriend who really liked it! And we like bats and stars and quiet surroundings in the middle of nowhere, too. Just nice to have some light to not trip over things when shuffling in and out of the van and around it, and give you a place to walk back to after doing your "business" over yonder.
Anyway....try it, you might just like it...we do.

I forgot to mention, I tend to drink to excess and waive my handgun around
while Metallica blasts from my 1000 watt stereo. I need the light so that I
don't inadvertently aim at, and possibly maim, my guests.
