Re: Bucket light
I'm afraid I wouldn't have reacted well to someone that left lights on in a campground. A lady I was working for mentioned a light on her house that needed to be hooked up. I traced the wire, then asked "Where's the switch for it?". She said it would be on all the time with a photoelectric eye. I made a comment about too much light in the neighborhood. She said something about her right to have a light (insecurity lights as I call them). I said "yes, I have no problem with that, as long as it doesnt interfere with my right to darkness. If people can keep all the light on their own property and I cant see it at all, I have no problem with it." She looked a little thoughtful at that point, and never has hooked up that light.
Some of the things mentioned in this thread are a bit out of my range of experience, I tend to camp in National Forest, just out in the sticks somewhere. I did camp in a developed campground in Yellowstone a few nights, the only thing that woke me up was somebody hollering "Bear!". I was able to go right back to sleep though.
