One can never have too many light sources when camping. I am known for setting up strings of motion sensitive lights so I could find my way between the tent/trailer and the nearest bush in order that the sudden light source will scatter the night creatures whom, I am confident, are out to do me harm!

I remember the Burgess name but haven't seen it in a very long time. A quick search brings up references to the company eventually being absorbed into the Duracell brand. I also remember my grandparents having Burgess products exclusively at their cabin in the Sierras in California.
