Hello Steven.
             If you do decide to get the Wilkinsons UFO LED lights, and you're handy with wiring, I found that three of them wired in series, work fine off the 12 volt EHU connected to my car battery.

Even my wife is impressed with the output, so she can read in the lounge of our Outwell.

Good luck.

Kind regards James

Lodgey....

How you going to attach it to the tent roof ???

Hi jo-jobie,  i attached a chain to the lampshade in three positions for stability at the top of the shade  and joined  together with a split ring and  a small carabiner , i can fit all the flex and the plug inside the shade with the bulb still attached as the shade  is quite solid .. i also made a draw string bag to put it in , i know i may be sad but its just what i wanted and a good saving ... this is the shade i bought...
