Was thinking of using a battery pack , you know the jump start type, with led lighting I thought they would last a long time? But not sure ?

We use a long lead with an in-line switch and a LED warm white light bulb in a tradition pendant light fitting hanging from the main central point in the living room of our tent (hubby is an electrician so no excuse for poor lighting!). Works a treat at lighting the tent properly and dead cheap to make.  I can't bear scrabbling around trying to find things in the dark!  We have ours plugged into a remote control extension lead so we can switch it on and off from bed or outside. We also use cheap Ikea clip on lights for more directional lighting over the stove etc in our awning, and solar fairy lights round the porch.

We also have a battery Coleman table lamp http://www.coleman.eu/UK/p-26071-cpx-6-portable-led-table-lamp.aspx which gives off a lovely warm glow - perfect for sitting outside or for more subtle lighting in your tent.  It is brilliant and we use it more than any other light we have, but is very big to find space for in our packed to the roof car!

Oh, also have added the flexible LED lighting strips now too for the awning, but they are a really harsh light so only used for doing actual "work" in the dark.

Yep, we pretty much are lit up like Heathrow when we need to be!
