As we have a dog that needs to walked before bedtime, I have an aluminum clamp worklight that I usually clamp where it will not shine into others campsites if possible. It is bright, and lights a lot of area, so it is not used very much, only if needed. Usually clamped onto the latter at rear of MH.
