Tesco's had some groovey book torch lights in their DIY promotion. We bought several last time they had them, for a couple of quid each

I use a clip-on light powered from a watch battery that I bought from Waterstones. Had it 3 years and although the battery has been changed 4 times, it hasn't let me down once. Great on the eyes, targeted light, doesn't wind your sleeping partner up either.

The head torches they have in Wilkinsons work pretty well and only cost £3, I tried them out on my first camping trip and had no problems.

I use a head torch for reading whilst sitting out under the stars on Summer evenings.

I hope it gets lots of use this year!
