Hi and welcome to UKCS, we have two, one Coleman and one Vango (both rechargeable) lights both are really good and come highly recommended. Do you have EHU?

We've tried all sorts over the years but the best so far is one of those spaceship shaped ones with LEDs. Ours has about 60 LEDs but it seems just as bright with 20 on as it does on full power. Batteries last for ages and are dead cheap to buy. Plus there is no worry about heat. We paid about a fiver off eBay. They are brilliant.

You're onto a great website here with great people who will give good advice. Welcome to the camping fraternity!

UFO lights from Morrisons £3 - you can't beat them. If you put one behind a water container they light the whole thing up! We also have a lantern style solar lamp from Wilkinsons £5

Gas lantern!

Something about the smell/sound and bright light that always makes me think of camping :D
