B & M Discount store has a rather good Table lamp, which can be hung up also. It works from 4 d cell batteries, and has worked well from last Sunday up to Thursday night without losing its light value whilst we were away. If I could, I would have, posted a picture. But details of it are....Made by Rolson,....24 LED...Patio and Camping lantern. At £7.99 each they are good value. Just google the mane of it and you will see the item on the many places that pop up. Most of them more expensive than B & M.

Make sure they are warm white not cool/cold white.
Slightly orange tinge to the warm white ones.
Wrong time of year now, but the £ shops had some decent lights around xmas time.

I like the Qbis warm white berry lights on Amazon. I have a string of 20. I find they give quite a good light. I use them in conjuntion with 2 'Scout LED' lights which have a vintage look and are suprisingly good, again a warm light. link
For EHU I prefer a table lamp from home, or even two. I like the non shattering light bulbs as they never heat up so much you can't touch them, and more importantly if they get knocked against something they won't burn it. The ikea 'plastic' type low energy light bulbs are ideal.

We have a set of these ... not cheap but has a timer so they can come on at dusk and go of automatically if you wish. Double as tree lights for Christmas!

More importantly, did you manage to have tea and get your daughter to bed ok?
Lol

But yes she did go to bed fine, and they did turn up above 10 mins after the msg was sent.lol
