Anybody have any thoughts on this way of lighting up the inside of tent. Thinking of running a 3mtr length across the top of the tent. Been told LED's stay cool so don't see a fire risk.
Another alternative is to use a "UFO" LED light which is what we use. The more LEDs the brighter the light and batteries last a long time

Hi Gannet
We bought the 60 LED UFOs off ebay to use in our Outwell Vermont L, 1 in the living area and one in the Awning and you can read with them at night so they are very bright and are switchable between 20, 40 and 60 LEDs, I wouldnt go any less the 60 in a big tent. We only paid a couple of quid for them off Ebay.
Good luck setting up your string of lights

used a rope light for about 4 years now to light up my awning (none led) its so bright i fitted an in line dimmer switch to tone it down a little ,gets a little bit warm not hot and the light is warmer on the eyes, leds would stay cool and look brill
Thanks alpiner, I've just bought 3 UFO's mainly because they can be moved about the tent. But I also find the white LED's harsh on the eye's. Might invest in a single light with a warmer colour just as an ambient light.
