m in need of a new camping lantern for my coming years camping. Been highly disappointed in the past with high priced lamps that give off very little light when hung form the centre of a tent. playing cards at a table, reading etc. Or ones that are great for a couple of hours and then you have to spend a fortune on batteries.

Can anyone tell me a good lamp that will not break the bank and give off a decent light? Open to all ideas..

I like the Alpkit Bulb.
£15, takes AA (or AAA, can't remember) batteries, bright, lasts ages.
Not much bigger than a coke can. Pretty decent!

And I would love to be able to afford one, but I wouldn't use one inside a tent with SIG and absolutely not hanging from the top of the tent. I've got a couple of Coleman dual fuel lanterns for outside. But for inside I would strongly recommend LED UFOs. You will get them for betweeen £4 and £5 (Wilkinsons and ASDA respectively). They take three AA batteries each and the batteries will last a good week. They are wonderfully bright and I use three on single ring setting in the living area of my Minnesota which provides more than enough light by which to read a newspaper or book after I've got the kids to bed.
