For the main light in the tent I have a hook on light fitting with a low energy bulb in it that can hang from the tents lighting hook. I have a low table for inside the tent and have got some of that anti slip fabric for the top of it so that I can put the lantern on it as it's quite sturdy with the feet folded out. It goes without saying that you should never leave any heat source unattended or in reach of any children.

As with tent heaters, they are fine as long as you keep them away from the tent fabric, keep the tent ventilated and use common sense.

tesco do a great one for about £15 12/240v rechargable one charge last 8hrs takes about 4 hrs to recharge fully 240v and 24hrs on 12v. As long as you dont want it on all night one charge lasts us all trip (normally 4 nights)

Happy camping

Ordered Northstar lantern from Kamper at 10:30am yesterday, was emailed to say order completed,another to say delivery today between 13:58 - 14:58. Fast turn around and precise time means no waiting in all day.

Hadn't thought about putting it on low table with antislip fabric.

Another vote for the wilkinsons UFO's have two up main compartment of Quebec and really happy with light they provide, cheap to run and they won't set fire to your tent
