Light pollution is an issue in public campgrounds in the summer. The old Coleman's are good for task lighting like reading or skinning a deer, but they are too bright for regular use. Some groups have one or two of them going all the time. Every kid has a flashlight. Some have laser lights in the trees. One guy kept turning on his bright headlights aimed right at my camp fire. It is too much. Keep enough light so you can see.
When fires are legal, I use the firelight to see. I set up a canopy frame and use old canvas tipi liners to block the wind and reflect the light. A couple of cheap solar lights can help people avoid tripping at night.
