Hi Guys

Can anyone recommend any lights to run of EHU for use in a tent ?

Cheers

I made my own, plug at one end with 3amp fuse, bulb holder at the other, and fit an in line swtch in between, I have been using it now for 8 yrs with no probs, made my mate one and hes well chuffed with it, TIP, when hanging from roof, make sure its at least 9inch away from canvas, cos they do get warm, and dont exceed a 60 watt bulb.

Hi.. I bought a light fitting in Wilkinsons that had a pendant fitting (is that the right word?) at one end and a clip... then about 2.5m of cable and a plug. It was 2.49 but I have seen them in poundland as well. We used a low energy bulb (so it didn't get too hot) and clipped it on the side of our table. I thought it worked really well and was cheap! 

 I know there are some other really nice lights about.. I'm sure someone will be along soon with more recommendations!

we got one of these,

just fitted an in-line switch, which sits about 4` up on the side of the tent. put a blob of silicone in the back of the lamp, where the wire enters it just to stop any condensation getting in. then fitted a low wattage energy saver bulb, works great. plenty of light in a large tent.

Hi,

I bought one of these at the weekend, http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-1428744-10475506?url=http://www.outdoormegastore.co.uk/acatalog/Sunnflair_Bulk_HeadLight_.html

but I was in Ikea (Warrington) yesterday and  they have these reduced to £6.99. http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/90099068

These were reduced as well, but I though OH might have some kind of fit!http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/00127018
