We use the rechargable type with fluorescent tube inside .

The main drawback with the light given off is that it is a bit stark.

They give off very little heat so we tend to wrap a piece of paper around which makes a much more relaxing light.

Hi,I think the UFO lights take some beating, for both the light they give off and the battery life.

I have two coleman lanterns that while not that expensive weren't cheap either, however the best lighting purchase I made was UFO lights out of poundland. I haven't found any in stock this year but got the same out of B & M for £1.49. They give off a much better amount of light than anything I've tried before.

Hi

Can anyone post a link to the UFO lights they have purchased as I have googled but loads of different types come up - are they the round ones with a 3-4 lights in them or are they the fibre optic type?

The ones people are referring to are like these.

You can get them in Wilkinsons for about £3.

Here's a link to the ones I have. Also available from ASDA. They are REALLY good, IMHO.

I use the 60 led ones from ebay they cost £3.60 each delivered from Hong Kong.
I got mine from this seller
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/60-LED-Portable-Lantern-UFO-Tent-Light-Lamp-Flashlight-/220574097406?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_SportsLeisure_Camping_LightsLanternsTorches&hash=item335b3d9ffe

Theres a few other sellers that sell them for roughly the same price, just type 60 led ufo in the search box

I got mine from Asda last year. They are very good and the batteries last a long time. Can't remember the price. Think it was around the fiver.

I am looking for something that i can attach one to so i can use it outside for the table.
Anyone got any ideas?
