I like the idea of these as it means you can get in and out of bed easily but wondered if anyone has bought and what sort of price. I have seen them as cheap as £7.20 but as high as £39.99 even though they appeared identical. Is there a difference?
I paid £10 for one in Aldi a couple of weeks ago and it came with 2 remotes, although that may have been a packing error. The 20 LEDs don't give that much light and the remote only works from inside the tent so no use for trying to identify which is your tent when stumbling across a dark field.
Well it was a while ago, but you should be able to find similar ones online and get them delivered quickly.
There are firms that specialise in that sort of thing.
B&Q have them - though maybe not such a good deal as the ALDI ones ...
EDIT - Peter45 - not sure what the range is, but I certainly have that in mind.
we have 2 one from b and q and one from ebay both great but one thing to watch out for is the remote will also turn others lights on and off same applies if a tent near you have one so if your light goes on in the middle of the night dont atomatically think of ghosts

------------- my hubby says it will only take a minute (to put the tent up)lol

Wireless devices like doorbells use frequencies, not codes
My door bell has a choice of 9 frequencies so you can choose a different one to your neighbour
I have great fun with my remote camping lantern - lend it to someone to take to the loos, then turn it off at an unexpected moment!
we have cordless doorbell and are fine since we moved but in last property we got 'ghost rings' regularly from house a few doors away

My friend's car key operates her neighbour's door bell!
I have an outwell 20 led remote control light. The remote control is great when getting in and out of bed to sort the kids out (at least ten times a night).
But it does have quite a harsh blue light.
We had a cheap remote control light. Cannot recall where we bought it but £7.99 sticks in my mind. It was brilliant. No worries about fumbling about in a dark tent when returning back late at night etc.
Sadly it almost spontaneously combusted!! Thankfully we were there at the time. It was being recharged when we became aware of a burning smell. Upon lifting it - it was smoking and had melted to the camping table.
Do miss the remote control thing now but I think I will invest in a proper make next time.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
