I quite like that idea.
I've looked at the mini one that takes the tea lights. Can get citronella ones too.
Might have to see what it's like.

The ridgemonkey on red at its lowest is pretty dim.

The light that came in my deeper chirp plus 2 gift set is really good and has different settings and is also a little power bank but not sure if you can buy it separately.
If the price doesn't bother, RidgeMonkey Vault Lite IR180 is simply top, i"m still happy with mine after 3 years, the sunblesa seems a good cheaper alternative.

Ridgemonkey Multi Lite plus - I too am a 'total darkness' advocate however this bit of kit is compact, dimmable and has multiple uses (eg flood mode for photos etc)

That little RM one does look nice ...

Just buy the components to build a remote light off Ebay, cheap as chips. Apart from the battery, you can buy one that will fit inside a small travelling toothbrush holder and velcro it to the roof of the bivvy
I used a home made one for years but got sick of it in the end.
So now, I just use a £4 light switch from Aldi's velcroed to the roof of the bivvy that is sold also in many shops and has a dimmer switch. For a red light, I just bought a small sample of red window shading film for glass off Ebay for practically next to nothing
I came to the conclusion, a remote is just a gimmick, what is the point of having a remote light, the distance that I usually have to reach for the remote is usually the same as reaching above my head to turn a light on and the light is always in the same place, the remote may not be as I may have displaced it and have to find it in the dark.
