I bought a couple from Netto last week and think they are really good, give off a bright light - I was impressed

I reckon these from Wilkinson are better. £3.99 though:

We got one from Poundland as a backup to the Vango one we already have and used it when we last went away in the bedroom pod. Within a few hours 5 of the LED's stopped working and by the next day it stopped completely. Taking the back off to check it most of the soldered joints had come apart and the ones that were left were dodgy to say the least. When back home the soldering iron came out and all is well now but worth checking them before you go away. The Vango one is far better made and has wires between the contacts so I suppose its the old proverb of "You get what you pay for" !!!

Asda have some like the Wilkinsons ones, with 2 rows of LEDS, for £3.50. They are very good. I have 4 of them.
