Just bought an awning and want to get a light for it.  I know we have one on the side of the van, but what does everyone else use..  Lamps, flourescent tubes or gas. Your ideas please.  Thanks

You can buy 12V/240V tubes which clip onto the roof pole of your awning from virtually any dealer. They're much brighter than filament lamps, and less bulky.These are approximately £10.
