I bought one off Ebay from china or somewhere, 2 rings of lights and you can light just the inner ring, just the outer ring (they have different number of LEDs), or both together. I think it was under £4 delivered and good value. I haven't seen any others for comparison.

It just has a push button on the front (i.e. the face with the LEDs on it), and a hanger to hook it onto the lantern hook in your tent or whatever.

LEDs are probably the most efficient light source there is, and though it takes 4 AA batteries, this will power it for a decent amount of time.

I doubt you'll find something interlinkable for that sort of money.

Just counted the LEDs on my Asda ones - 48 in total, 24 in each of 2 rings which can be on individually or together.

The 3 x AA batteries it takes powered all 48 LEDs for 37 hours in my test!

Surely that depends what current your batteries will chuck out? i.e. if batteries only have enough "grunt" to light 24 LEDs, try and drive 48 and they'll be half as bright?

Something like that anyway...

Just tried it with mine though and the first ring doesn't appear to dim when you turn the second one on...
