I have a magnetic,rechargeable light from eBay with a pir built in. I use it as a normal light then switch ti pir when asleep. They were about £6 and perfect for what I want.

I have one of these and it's been excellent. Had it about 4 years, used on average 1 night a week. It's waterproof, rechargeable, has remote control, brightness setting, white and red light (among other less useful colours). Battery lasts forever. Great bit of kit for £ 20

I have the NGT and it's pretty good tbh, but I find scrolling through the settings to turn it off a pain.
Anybody know of a remote controlled light that just has a simple on and off white light?

Another one for the ridgemonkey one (white, red and green) version with the remote, very good had mine for about 18 months still like new
I got the prestige carp porter/bivvy light for 25 quid plus fiver delivery from ebay for Christmas and first impressions are good, comes with magnetic clips and metal bit fro attaching to bivvy aswell as a clamp for attaching to your barrow or bankstick, can be used as a power bank, has a remote, has white or green light that can be used on 3 power settings, plus it can be used as a torch as has some leds in one end, remains to be seen as to longevity but so far so good, oh and battery last for ages.

Had the ND tackle one and it's been brilliant. Connects to your phone via there app and has more settings than you can shake a stick at

Agree that the ND one is great. I like the way it links to the bite indicators and head torch too.

Dont understand the need for a Green light , when you have the White and Red , the Green is a strange colour , well to me it is.
I make my own 👍

Green light has the least effect on your natural night vision, meaning when you turn it off you can still see quite well.

I built my own remote control light from parts I got from China which I used for years. Probably cost less than a "Fiver" to make. Dearest part was the remote control and sensor about £3.50. LED SMD bulb about 80p and a bulb holder and a bit of spare wire and a baitboat battery I had laying about the house. It was just a simple job of connect the wires up and install them into a clear perspex tooth brush holder with a bit of velcro on the back and a bit of speaker wire to the battery down the side of the bivvy.
But, eventually I thought, what is the point of a remote control, the distance I reach to pick the remote up is no different to the distance I reach to turn a light on physically and I always know the light is there and not like the remote which I might have lost in my sleeping bag or misplaced it.
These days I am using lights with a dimmer switch from Aldi's that take 3 AAA batteries that cost about £4.50 back end of last year, one velcroed to roof of my bivvy and one on the side of the bivvy above my tacklebags. They did have some with a movement sensor but last thing I want is a light that turns itself on and off on its own.
Before that, it was similar lights without the dimmer from Boyes about £3 each.
And when I get home, another job less to do, recharge batteries.

Like others I am happy using the on/off switch on the lamp. A simple Rolson Led Magnetic light works for me.

I think if you shop around you might get it even cheaper
