HomeDepot Buy for 3-4-2015
Does this type of light make sense to have for camping?

Personal opinion only, no.
Seems awkward, bulky for the amount of light and I am not a fan of neon green. 
To each their own.

Also, not for me. I go camping to relax, sit by the fire, look at the night sky. If I have to be doing something outside that needs light, I have a headlamp to illuminate what I am dealing with.
If you were camping near me with that light, I would not like it. But, I normally don't camp where anyone is near me. Certainly not something I would want in a campground.

I have to go with the others, we have a small two led coleman that is rechargeable. About the only place we use it is un lighted vault toilets.

Depends on how and where you camp. How close are others, what you are doing and what is your needs. You'll get all kinds of opinions, different campsites, locations will dictate appropriate use.

More industrial which would cast a rather harsh light at a CG. Work site yes, CG, not so good. Remember the TM has a good exterior light system.

I have really liked the Ryobi One+ tools which is their 18v line of power tools. I bought two of their LED lanterns which just use a single LED and has two brightness levels. The Ryobi rechargeable battery lasts a long time on these units. I also have a Ryobi flashlight and also use a Ryobi drill to use on the stabilizer jacks. Same battery for all of these things.
