To be honest, comments like Sleepy's, and others, is what makes a typically uninteresting thread, well, interesting.
While in many ways, I agree with Sleepy, outside lighting is unnecessary and a simple headlamp or flashlight serves most needs. But when walking around and walking up to the camper, fumbling for keys, I could see something useful for the majority, but not sleepy and I. Often posters forget what the forum provides and what type of TC user is reading here. The majority of the people in this forum frequent campgrounds, state parks and just camping with a group of friends. Sleepy, myself, and a handful of others, are the minority.
Personally, I would eschew any outside lighting but I like the fact that someone at least is considering a light that is activated by motion (IR), on an as needed basis. Just look at this thread for the extreme; Outside Lighting Clicky Your IR Motion Detector Light addition looks like a good addition for one's camper, for these reasons.
For me, it is just another light beacon alerting my location to others of where I am camped, which is not in my interest for my personal safety.
Happy Camping!
