No not mad ...insane like us, we go for around 10+ days at least once a yera so far and you will suprised that you realy can live without EHU, so much so we have put off buying an EHU for another and this will carry on I guess.

I would start with this as your main light IMHO, you can buy the identical lantern in other brands of the below but twice the price, very bright at its highest setting and surprisingly good on batteries, we used ours for two weeks without the batteries dyeing on us..

The Alpkit Bulb II is a good bit of kit a more compact lantern with 136 lumens at the same price, sadly out of stock at the moment.

The Maplin lantern is a good price, although Outwell do a larger version of the same lantern which is 25% brighter.

We got 2 of the Outwell lanterns, and GO price matched them to £25 each, superb light and not as stark as the Fluorecent lanterns that you can get.

I use UFO lights in the tent living area and then have 2 small LED lanterns for the bedroom pods.
I also have 2 Campingaz Lumogaz lanterns to place on the tables outside in the evenings.

And, NO, you're not mad to go 7 nights without EHU.

I have two of these. I had mine from Lidl or Aldi and they were £10 never mind what Towsure are asking!!!!
Anyhoo I charge them before I go away and they last for days. They are fab. They are definately bright enough and can be hung up out the way.
