 I use something simillar to this......I plug it into a staterpack battery thing ( the ones to jumpstart cars) that i take with me, you could plug it into a coolbox/12v transformer and plug that into the EHU.......not sure the one on this link has a plug on the end but its easy enough to stick one on it. It clips to the frame above the bed and I put another one in the awning, I dont have any trouble reading under them and they seem to give off a fair bit of light. The ones in this link are not the same ones I use but its pretty similar like I said.

Fit a leisure battery & a couple of 12V 10W halogen spotlights from IKEA for a few quid.  Much cheaper than the ones from camping shops.If you can't run that much power, go for a flourescent like those reccomended by Oskah above.  Not as bright, but less drain on the battery.  There are also lots of good LED lamps now, but I don't like their blue glow as much as the halogens.

We bought a couple of halogen spots wich have a goose neck and  clip to fix to shelves, headboards, etc, froim Homebase at approx £7.  We cut off the connector which plugs into a 240 o 12 V transformer and fitted a lighter socket so that they can be plugged into the 12 volt system in the camper.

regards Bob
