these in my opinion are about as good as you get , fantastic and at the price on the link you'd be mad not to get one absolute bargin

hi thanks for the replies dont fancy the gas one even though your right its a bargain! -small child!!

like the first one and its price, but are they really bright enough to light the porch area so we can read?

any more?!

thanks so far

Hi

Please forgive my ignorance, but are the gas ones okay to hang from a tent ceiling? We have a handy ring in the centre of the living area ceiling which would be great for LED lights but not so sure about anything that gives off heat

Thanks

I wouldn't hang a gas or dual fuel lantern from the ceiling of any tent - far too much heat is given off. 

I also use the Wilkinsons UFOs (also available from ASDA but a little more expensive).  They are very good indeed (bright and compact for staorage - I stoor mine inside the pans for transit) but you may find you require a couple rather than just one.  But there are other hanging points other than the obvious ring.  For example I also make use of the hanging points for the bedroom pods and the toggles for the curtains and doors.
