Once you've made your mind up over the fitting, the shade, the fuse, etc, etc, don't forget to think about the height of where you're wanting to hang it from and make sure you have a length of flex that will reach from the hanging point to the ground or whereever your socket is. Instead of worrying about bumpng your head on the light fitting you may well be bumping your head on the plug and end of the extension lead which is suspended half way down from the middle of your tent. (Voice of experience!).

Unfortunately the Poundland one came with only 2m of cable. A slightly more expensive one (£3!) from Poundstretcher came with 3m of cable which made all the difference.

The plug end of this is ideal for cutting off and adding a rocker switch and another meter or so of cable and a plug.
