Last year we used a flourescent strip light thingy, which from memory was pretty cheap from Halfords. Did the job ok but I'm looking to see what else is available

 We used flouro strip to start, but now use led's, much brighter and use much less power, my OH made our light which plugs straight into a 12v power pack.. it looks like this 96 really white light, and he has connected a few together. small and easy to pack away too. I think he got them from a marine shop or a car spares.

We have EHU but still use 12v strip lights.....We've tried the normal house bulb with a clip on thing, but didn't seem to work the same so we went back to the strip lights..!

We use a cheapy bulldog clip light now but used 12v strip lights in the Vario and used velcro cabel tidies to secure them to horizontal bars. We got a power converter to run coolbox off EHU and use that with adapter to run the strip lights too.

Think we got the lights from B&Q last year.
