Hi all
I'm sure that this is something that comes up fairly regularly - so sorry for anyone who needs to repeat themselves :(
We have a Vango Eclipse 600 and would like to light the tent - which is the best way of doing this? We currently have 2 x 72 LED inspection lights which do light up the immediate area, but being a largish tent, didn't know if anyone had any better suggestions?
Thanks
Debbie

if you are not using ehu, the below are the best, you can slightly brighter Outwell, but this is nearly twice the price.
Ring Cybalite 300
Well worth checking out the specs, there are many that are the same lantern and can get picked up as little as £15.
Example
Don't worry about the D cells they last for ages in these lanterns.

Thanks Youlbury, we will generally have EHU.
We only bought the tent at the end of the last season, so far we've only managed a couple of weekends away, both without EHU, but we're ready to have power now!!!

we made our own, get a shade that you want bulb brightness you want plus we added a dimmer switch so it could be bright or well less bright. Finished off with some green cried cabling to match the tent.

Another vote for the cyba-lite when not on EHU.
For EHU, we just had one of those clip on domestic bulb holders you can get almost anywhere, which with the right bulb is fine. Must admit though, we are even happier with our latest set up, which is The Outwell castor light, with a
Remote control dimmable bulb in it!
Just be aware that there was a spate of reports a good year or so ago saying that some of those Castor lights were only 2m leads, despite the box and/or advert stating 5m.

Outwell castor light is excellent.
