Bob.
How about one of those clip on light holders? Clipped onto the bedroom toggle strap, low enough to avoid the tent roof, but sticking at horizontally, thus avoiding the bedroom material.
I don't have a pic of the one we used to use, but I do have a video (showing high winds, specifically) that shows the lamp, and the position I mean. Fast forward to 40secs or so...
Video...
(Ignore the camping lamp... that was just stored there out of the way... it got used as a night light, next to the bucket!)
Admittedly, this particular lamp only had about 1m lead to it, so used in conjunction with a bog standard domestic extension lead, the plug/socket joint laid against the outside of the bedroom wall, about chest height. No idea whether you can get them with longer leads?

Thank you, that might work or I may even be able to clip it to the roof poles. It wouldn't be too big a job to extend the cable with a joint plug, or socket, or whatever they are called (don't want to upset the leccies again) 
Incidentally I looked at your other videos in that link showing wind swept tents...one reason why I changed from fibreglass poles to metal. It is no fun sitting in a tent with hoops that are swaying dramatically from side to side.
