I want to get one. It must be rechargeable and ideally by both mains and 12v.

It needs to be cheap as my camping spends this month have really totted up!! LOL

Any CHEAP (under £20) recommendations, offers or sales????

I used to have one that cost £9.99 from Woollies, had it for years but hubby dropped it from great height and its never worked since!  Have missed it the past year or so!

Anyone able to suggest anything??

I find gas lamps a lot better than the rechargeable kind, they give off a lot brighter light, if you want it, I think that LED lights can be a bit cold, they are lighter (weight wise), on the down side you need to be a bit more carefull you dont knock them over, and you need to buy refills, but I would consider getting one. I think I paid £12.99 for mine and refills are around four quid, I haven't had to change the gas yet and have used it for about 6 hours.

I have a gas lamp! I love it too but worry about leaving the kids with it, if I pop to the loo etc. Plus I never seem to end up on a level pitch! So I am paranoid about using it in the tent often.

I have an electric lamp I used when I take EHU that lives in the living area but I was after a lantern type for in the bedroom pod as well as additional lighting for the living area.

Ive got one of these

We used ours in the day tent and was great and no batteries or winding needed.

Our version is slightly different to one pictured and I just put the solar panel on a V tent peg just outside the tent.
