We'd like to try to find some lights that we can put up in the bed pods of our Crusader.  It's likely to be chilly at Easter so we thought we'd probably spend a good part of our evening reading in bed but don't want to argue over who gets out into the cold to turn the lights off! 

If anyone has found any suitable lights we'd be grateful for a recommendation.

Will you be having EHU? If so, get a couple of the bulb sockets on a big plastic clip from Wilkinsons, Poundstretcher etc, a couple of quid each. They come with quite long leads and you can clip them on anywhere you like, they have on/off switches so you don't have to get out of bed to turn them off. To avoid any fire risk, use low energy bulbs which don't get hot like ordinary ones.

If you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going till you go round the bend.

Daughter uses the magnetic ones.  Metal outside the bedroom pod and lamp on the inside.  I also sewed some pockets into the bedrooms with holes in bigger than net.  Used these for watches, earrings (through the holes), books and for lamps - light was fine.

Hi,

Me and the wife have same problem (who's going to switch off lights after reading) until we found these handy little lights that attach to your book, Ideal especially if only one of you wants to read as light is focused onto page that your are reading

Hi we use a 12 volt strip light that clips onto the frame with pole clips. We put it on the frame where the bed pod clip on, we don't bother with the curtains nor do we zip the bed pods closed at night.  It switches on on the light so you don't have to get out of bed, you just have to stretch up to switch it off.
