I'm thinking about buying a rechargeable LED lantern.  Argos has a 30 LED one with 12v and 240 mains for approx £35.  Has anyone got one?  Are they any good?  Can you buy them cheaper anywhere else?

Cheers!

Not rechargeable, but check these out on Ebay:

I bought two just because they were so cheap I could deal with the disappointment - but they're really bright.

Batteries last ages, & the best thing is that they take up so much less space than regular lamps. They also come with a little widget that allows tham to be hung from things.

We have mains/rechargeable if EHUs trip or power cuts we switch to the rechargeable batteries.

If we use at night we recharge during the day,the type we bought from go-outdoors charge the batteries while using at night. They have 2 striplights so you can use full or half power.

Not really into gas lighting,more for safety reasons also packing the glass,break it and you are without a light. I know 1000s of camper use them,just a personal veiw.
