Welcome to the site.  Hopefully you have bought a camping EHU which will be fitted with an RCD and twin pole RCD.  As far as I am aware it is not illegal to use a domestic light fitting.  If you do it is better to use a florescent bulb as they are cooler and less likely to damage the fabric of the tent

 Last year we bought a 12 volt Vango Rechargable 60 LED wand light wich will plug into an EHU, car or can be used around the house in an emergency.  It gives a good light and a full charge will last several hours.

We use a couple of cheap bedsise low wattage 230V lamps from B&Q on some small table tops, away from the tent wall. I think around £10 for the 2 of them Great level of warm yellow glow instead of the bright white LED. Not too much exposed heat with the small shades on neither You can also install an inline dimmer if you wish to be able to control the light levels further. As said before no issues when using the EHU RCD hookup, just watch the heat if hanging from the ceiling. LED will give off extremely less heat.
