Does anyone know whats the best reasonable priced,long lasting light for inside tent
We also have been advised to get headlights aswell.

I have been reading the posts about the crazy prices people pay for these things!!! Do you really have to pay a fortune for a decent light?

Does people use their ehu and just buy some sort of lamp and run it off ehu?

Any tips/advice would be appreciated
Thanks

we have a strip light in our awning and a £2.50 Wilkco,s table lamp in the cab part of our TT.When we go in our tents i have made some lights that i hang up out of bulk head lights about £2.50 each you dont have to pay a lot of money for lights. just make sure they are safe

 hi  the one i use is a patio L E D round light thats meant for the parasol to slide in thru,,,

it has four spots that are angeled so you can get maxium lite where you need it,

very bright, clear good light to cook and read in, the price i paid for em last year was as little as £5 takes pencil batteries,,, and they last for ages as well just hang a little string on them and hang up,,,

try looking at garden shops, lidle and aldi, netto may be e bay,,,

Hi wee Molly & welcome to the forum

When we take EHU we just use a simple clip-on bulb holder with a low energy bulb - about £2 max. Without electric we use the round LED lights (UFO lights) which you can pick up in Poundland, or like us, from Morrisons for £2.99. We also have a Campingaz 206 lantern which is nice for early/late season as it gives off a bit of heat to take the chill off

Yes, they are really bright but our local Morrisons have had a bucket full of them returned. The side clips where the elastic threads thru seems to be very weak - I have returned 3 now

The Alpkit head troch at £12.50 may be a better bet if you're on a budget CLICKY

Clip-on light which uses an ordinary bulb for use on EHU. £2.99 from my local cheapy shop. Easier and less bulky than a table lamp with shade. Takes a standard bayonet type bulb.

Go here for the one I have
