2010 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 USW Santorini Black

In tent lighting

Apart from Tilley and gas lamps which are great for outside due to fumes what do you use in the tent?
LEDs are the way I will go due to the low consumption but not sure which, make ,model etc
Hopefully I will have a 110 with split charge very soon so thinking an Anderson plug may be useful
What do you use and why

For our roof tent we've gone with the Ring LED tent lights - one upstairs in the tent and two downstairs in the awning. Perfectly adequate for reading/cooking by and powered off the auxiliary battery. They have an In-line on/off switch in the cable. We've hard-wired a single 12v DIN socket on the outside back of the Land Rover - off this we use a 'cup-holder' style double cigar lighter which provides power for both lights and also double USB for charging the iPad/iPhones.
We use moonlight / starlight / headtorches outside the tent!

2006 Defender 110 Td5 USW Zermatt Silver

We used to use the same lights as above, but found them to be fragile and far to delicate to be reliable so brought

Got this about four years ago now, and its had much abuse, but stands up to it all. It's been removed from the camp kit to permanent storage of the truck.

Also good, but rechargeable battery are.

These are amazing for the money, very robust,

1995 Defender 110 300 Tdi SW Alpine White

I have a hannibal roof tent and downstairs room mounted on my sankey trailer. I use a candle lantern in cold weather in the sleeping quarters - warmth and light! There is an LED strip fixed to the underside of the fold out part of the roof tent with power from a 12v battery in the trailer. I also have a military 9x9 tent lit either by gas or LED powered from either the trailer or land rover.

I'd post a photo here if i knew how to do that![/img] 110 Defender 300tdi & Penman trailer with ally exped top and roof tent
