For the people in the last few posts talking about the lantern with remote - you all seem pleased with it, but can you tell me what make it is?? I don't know what I'm looking for if all I have to go on is the picture!

Thanks for your recommendations.

Starr. I dont have one of those lanterns pictured but I can tell you who makes them,SOMEBODY CHINESE LOOKING. Do a web search and you will get shed loads of sources. We have 2 Towsure "essential's" rechargeable lanterns they have no remotes but give us around 3 hours reasonable illumination and we recharge off EHU during day. They are available from Towsure, are about 15 quid each and are made by,,,,,, guess who!!

Why do you want a bulky lantern ?

We have a LED UFO that we hang in the middle of our 4 person dome tent and it throws out enough light as if the room was lit off the mains. It runs on 4 AA batteries and runs for days on end. You can use AA rechargables if you want and if you run out for some reason it is so easy to find a pack of AA's at a shop anywhere in the world.

Here is an example on eBay

I don't necessarily want a bulky lantern (the less bulky the better!) - I just want something to light up our tent for an hour or two each night, I've never used anything but a torch so I didn't really know what was out there and was looking for suggestions from people who have something they would recommend.

Does this light really give enough light to read by? Cos it's crazily cheap compared to the lanterns people have suggested and I don't mind it using batteries if it goes for so long before they need recharging.
