What kind of tent lighting do you guys use? We have a vango Icarus 500 with awning and at present just have a hi gear light from go outdoors. It's getting a pain moving it from tent to awning and back again at night, so looking to buy a decent set up. What would anyone recommend???

I have the Outwell Tauri light when on EHU which I use in the main living area of my tent. I then have white solar fairy lights in the awning along with 2 battery powered lanterns and battery powered UFO lights in the bedroom pods.

We have Moroccan style metal shade solar fairy lights outside, and an Outwell electric light inside, plus also two HQ waterproof battery lanterns and a few Kampa capsule battery lights for the times when we have no EHU or to supplement the main light if we need to. Oh yes and we also have tealights and holders if we need them!

Just bought both the AA and D cell Streamlight Siege lanterns and they are brilliant. Got them on ebay, sent from the States and arrived in less than a week. Very bright but totally adjustable. The lighter AA one hangs inside the tent, the heavier D cell is for the awning.

We have little orb lights, one for bedroom, one for front. We also have a strip light which clips onto the car battery, bargain at £1.50 from a charity shop a few years back. Only problem with that is its designed to go onto a pole which we don't have on the inside!
