By far the best light we've ever had is this one

Take a look at the pics here and here

3 D batteries that last forever. It really is a great light and very compact too.

As usual.it comes down to personal choice,we bought camping gaz lamps at a bargain price of £4.50 each earlier in the summer,we also have Tillley paraffin lamps.both give off good light and the bonus of around 1kw in heat when lit.Plus we have various LED and torches for bed room pods and going to the loo at night etc.

  Tilley lamps can give off a lot of fumes though if they do not light correctly,also any lamp which burns gas or paraffin should be used only in well ventilated tents,an CO can build up.We have had wind up lanterns in the past but have found they do not work properly after a short period,as thet start to go dim very quickly,even after being fully wound up.

Piratez - I think the Maplin one is identical. The cybalite is known by many diffferent names, and this one used to be £30, now £15. Battery performance is exactly the same at 30 hours claimed.
