Lets talk about camp lights

[ITTOG]

Ive got red lights inside and outside the trailer door, they are wired to a dusk/dawn sensor so they turn on/off automagically.. really helps my 10yro Pyrenees get in and out of the trailer.. Its the only lighting I keep on.. dont screw with night vision nor attract a swarm of bugs.

Ive got 2 of these LED torches, I really like em.. they've survived abuse from kids and weather much better than my previous flashlights and I dont need to carry spare batteries since I can recharge it w/USB charge supplies.

Are the red lights the little round ones all over Amazon or are they something else.

Here's what I used for that:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C4V3086/ - Under Chassis light (mounted on center beam)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0026X950K/ - Inside Door
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006P1ZEAY/ - Dusk to Dawn Switch

For the red LED's i use these...

For those talking about too much light by your neighbor...
(I get yah)......but.....
It really pays off to avoid campgrounds, and do disperse camping on BLM land...

The pic i posted above was some where in AZ in January... we were the only ones at the campground...

I understand ya, but I really dont recall ever seeing BLM land in Texas. There are some state forest, but even there camping is regulated

Is most of Texas privately owned?

Wow really eh... did not know that...reason enough to explore out of state...
Lots of BLM out west and all the way north to AK and in between....

Most of the entire country east of the Rockies is privately owned. I guess the crooked speculators and grifters that took most of the homestead act lands weren't that interested in burning deserts and steep mountainsides.

Yes, over 95% which is great if you own it. Not so much otherwise.

Yep, done a bunch of exploring in New Mex, Colorado, Arizona and Utah. But for me, I'm a solid 10 hour drive from El Paso. Not a short trip to be had with out crowds unless you go mid week.

Who knew camp lights were such a controversial topic?

I think I’m going to switch to propane lanterns and get 6 of them and use REFILLED disposable cans.

 

[Boatbuilder79]

Legitimate ExPo guys dont use propane.
Its kerosene mantle lamps. Coleman, Tilley, Petromax, etc..
They put out considerably more light over propane or gasoline. You can get by just fine with only 3 or 4 kerosene lamps.

Yeah but by using propane lights and refilling the disposable cans I figure I can cause double the controversy.

I spent years in the Infantry and got buy with just night vision but when camping many people don't want to just get buy.
