For EHU I use the Outwell Tauri light.
Non EHU I use a range of battery and solar lights - I find the UFO lights particularly good ad we use small battery lanterns in the bedrooms.
The solar fairy lights add some magic!
I also have 2 gas lanterns which I use outside in the evenings.

For on EHU we use 3 BulkHead Lanterns, 70watt Halogen (100watt/1200 lumen)in the main living area of the Tent, for out side under the Sun-Canopy a BulkHead Lantern 105watt Halogen (150watt 1800 lumen) both units have inline rotary dimmers fitted.
Kitchen Tent uses a BulkHead Lantern 53watt (75watt 800 lumen)
For back up or when no mains electric is available we have two of the Outwell 400 XL battery Lanterns which take 6 rechargeable "D" Cells each, although probably the brightest LED lantern around they only give out 30watt of light each in old money, or about half as bright as a single mantle gas lantern.
We no longer use fluorescent lighting, as the Glow seem to attract every flying insect imaginable, along with the Glow being stark and cold.
We also no longer take the Paraffin Pressure Lantern or CampinGaz Lantern, no need in this modern age although the brightness from such portable ancient Lanterns, is far brighter than any modern day LED Lantern can offer, not to mention the lovely Glow from both, but especially the Paraffin Lantern which is so warm and special and a reminder of the old times.
For EHU I use an Outwell Vega for the main tent, though I find the cable a bit short.
For non EHU in the main tent I use a large Nichia LED battery lantern like this one which can be free standing or hung upside down on an integral hook. These are far far brighter than standard LED lights and do not have that blue hue - they are true white.
For the extension I use a UFO light - this one has a remote control which is really useful when coming back to the site in the dark.
I also have an assortment of torches and small lanterns for individual use.
We use an LED Light by Rolson. We also use some of those small LED lights that look like lightbulbs, which are very dim, but good for the kids' room. These all run off AA batteries.
We have one string of battery powered fairly lights from ebay, which take 3 AA batteries. These give a nice light for late at night. In my backpacking tent, I use these for reading by.
When we're in bed, we usually just use LED head torches.
