Have a Monty six and am considering getting one of those 40w outwell lights that you can hang in your tent.  They are not cheap though and i was wondering if anyone had one and what sort of light they gave off.

Or do people just use lamps or have a light fitting on a flex to hang in the tent.

We used it in France recently and it worked an absolute treat.  Friends of ours have done the same and added a dimmer as their kids like to have a light on at night. 

You could try this as an option.

It's like a normal bulb fitting with a big spring loaded clip (bit like a big hair clip) and I use a low energy bulb - gives out loads of light. It has a really long flex so no problem clipping to the tent window toggles on the roof. Teh cable was hel by the velcro bits up the tent that are ther in the Hartford for electric cables.

I originally bought it for using to do cross stitch in the caravan and put a daylight bulb in it.
