What's the best thing to light a large tent with? I have EHU and there's a light hanger in my Norfolk Lake tent. Would making my own just using a bayonet fitting like you have in your house be the best option. What do other people use?

I already have a rechargeable lantern for use outside but could do with something brighter in the tent.

Thanks for any help.

If you have no luck down B&Q, best light i ever got was the Niteplam field Lamp. Its a small lamp that produces loads of light. A bit more expensive than some lamps, but you definately get what you pay for!

We've just bought a rechargeable lantern from Woolworths (£14.99 - half price at the mo) as recommended in a couple of posts on this site.  The light is bright.  Have tried it at home and tomorrow it will be lighting our tent.

We use a fluoresent light (the overhead type used when working on cars) bought from Halfords.

No problems about overheating and it gives off a good light also.

we have a kyham brekenridge which is quite large and we use 3 large led lights in it purely cos I like alot of light - 2 is ample but I saw 1 going half price at a sale with no box and got it for £3 - so it had to be bought !...

I have 1 hanging above in the main section which is great, another in the big canopy bit (which is now the kitchen) and the 3rd one on a table outside which is magic at night...and I know they are battery powered but I have yet to change the batterys in them yet !

Take one of these, add one of these, screw one of these into the back, add on 3 or 4 metres of this with one of these on the end...and you have the lightweight, waterproof low wattage light that lights the inside of our Montana 6 perfectly.

Wilkos sell all the bits by the way, cheaper than Screwfix. Total cost about £9.00
