Currently sitting in our new Athens 6 tent and feeling rather pleased with myself on my purchase.
Had a brain wave whilst in b&q picking up some leads etc to make our tent lights when I saw a pack of 3 remote controlled plugs for £10. Now I can turn my lights on on approach to tent and can turn our kitchen or living room of from a sitting position. Will hook the third one up to our bedroom light, bliss B-)
That's a great idea, we bought a bunch of PiR battery operated lamps, they were on clearance at B&Q a couple years back. Osram SpyLux they run of a couple of AAA batteries and being led last for ages.
Around £2 a pop so got 10, we just have them dotted in and around the tent, saves having to fumble around in the middle of the night, and they come on as we approach the tent, great little lamps and are a good back up should the EHU go down.
There great, i use a set of three and last thing at night just before going to sleep i hit the (all off ) button and bingo everything is switched off without getting out of bed.
We use these and i plug my kettle in, the night before i fill it, and take the remote to bed.
Operates my lights from bed and even better in the morning i click my kettle on, and don't get out of bed until i have boiled water ready for my cuppa!!!!!!!!!!! (even better my eldest is now starting to get the hang of making the said cuppa!!)

Unfortunately, We cannot find a remote for the eldest ??
We had the remote lantern from Argos a few years ago, still going strong.
