Battery, gas, or mains electric?

My advice is worth no more than the price paid for it

led's powered off a leisure battery will last an eternity before the battery needs a recharge.

On hook up, I use my Outwell Tauri light.
Non-EHU, I use battery powered UFO lights.
Outside the tent for the evenings I have 2 Campingaz lanterns.

The battery powered one we use is the Ring Vega Cybalite (see Amazon) very bright and long lasting. Well reviewed and reasonable in price at £20.

On EHU we use an Outwell Merope electric light with an 8w energy saving bulb.

Really pleased with both.

I recently got some Ring Tent lights ; 3 led lights that have clips to attach to the tent ; £17 from GO .

Brilliant ! run off aaa batteries and fit in a tiny sandwich box for transport . Really impressed !

I also use a UCO candle lantern ; but got the tent lights as I'm camping more now during the longer nights

I've got this lantern too (the Varta version) It's pretty amazing. I think I'll be getting my sister in law one for christmas. It totally blows away anything they've got.

I already have a 12v leisure battery that I use for work so would prefer led lights that can work from it.

Thanks
