I would say it all depends on where your camping, I've stayed at places where you'd never notice someone's lights left on there's so much going on. But if your in a forest campground and everyone else is more or less in the dark ... you don't want to stand out a and be a p.i.t.a.

Please don't beat me up for this question! I am a very conscientious camper and would not ever leave these lights on in areas that are meant to stay dark. I just think it would be nice to have the option to have these lights on during the evening just like party lights, in areas where I feel a little more light is needed for security and then when there are special events like Fall Campouts!


God Bless and Happy Camping!!!

I understand .....it is easy to do, with the way people have shown.......that being said.....if in a campground, with street lights, buildings.etc. go for it.

However, in dark forest, state/national park.......many of us would like to see what the sky really looks like at night ....it is amazing!!!!


The National Park Campground near here (PLatte River) has no street lights.....................sometimes the stars are so bright, and the campground is pitch black.........it feels like you are one with the universe ..................Please think of the nature ....we are looking for, thanks

In a park with lights on poles or in city type parking, the trailer lights are ok.

Out in the boonies NO, I have watched the night sky all my life, built a telescope in high school, seen hundreds of meteorites, meteor showers, satelites, the space satation, rocket launches from Vandenberg, all in the dark.

I installed small LED lights in the cabin, and the head, so that when we are out in the desert, we can see inside without disturbing ower night vision.

Please be considerate of others, and respect nature's sky wonders, if you travell to Paris, all the city lights are pale yellow, the astronomers requested that light color, because it is the least disrruptive for the telescopes, parking lights are yellow, but are to bright.

Good luck with your night show

A automotive flasher unit placed in the 7-pin will give you flashing lights.

I don't mind lights for folks who are sitting outside, but it doesn't need to be lit up like broadway, either. and when you go to bed, turn out the lights.
please.
