I can't comment on most of these, as dont have them. But I do have a UFO light, about 20 LEDs I think. Cheap from Poundland. I find it very bright and mine came with a "hook" so you could hang it up. It takes 4 AAA batteries which I haven't changed yet. But Isuppose it will depend on how long you leave them on for!!

Another vote for the UFO lights. Cheap and work well. Only take 4 AA batteries .

Get to poundland, wilkos etc and get a batch of the cheap batteries.. they are fine for this light. Costs next to nothing to run :)

 i actually had trouble with rechargeable batteries with this type of light last year, so i second cheap batteries for these.

Hi,

If you have EHU then this is brilliant.  Ours was the best lit tent at night time.

hi, like you i got the aspen aswell, we use ehu and got one of these from b&q lights up like the living room just hangs from centre of the tent, then use all the velcro straps to run the cable back to ehu.

Again if you are on EHU, £20 quid bought a set of Pyramid 'Gazebo' lights.   Just 4 25watt globes along a set of flex, each with a loop of elastic to attach them to the poles.

Brilliant, and cheaper than the 'proper' awning lights.

My Parents and I bought our sets from White Arches, who didn't seem to know they had them, as when asked they had directed us to much more expensive lighting.  

Fortunately my eagle Eyed mother spotted a stack of these in the corner!

Hi just read the thread have your cig lighter checked in your car usually the prongs are bent in slightly allowing a dead short across positve to negative when you push in the cig lighter if it is then it will allow you a greater range of choice

I picked up a fab tip from this site a while back and got one of these from POUNDLAND, it's identical to this one, even the packaging and I got a low energy lightbulb from sainsburys about £1.49 (one that dosen't blind you if you stare at it) and dosen't get hot so really safe if you're lighting up a tent

another vote for UFO lights, great for attaching to inner tent toggles, magnets on the back of mine for stiking on table legs, cheap batteries a must. i even bought some to use at home in the loft/garden/pantry etc. got about five now.

Don't do what my missus did though - hung one up in a toilet tent at night so she could see what she was doing - so could everyone else on the camp site....ahem!
