Can someone recommend a decent bivvy light from experience, ive always just used a head torch previously. Heard ridgemonkey are good but are pretty expensive, are they worth it? My bivvy has a clip for hanging in the middle if it's not magnetic.

I've got 2 of the original RM with red and white light, no remote. They come with a magnetic strip so attach almost anywhere. Cant fault them, last ages on a charge and both colours have 2 brightness settings.

Thanks, does it have anything on it to hang from a hook in the bivvy? Just in case it's temperamental with my bivvy

Rather than pay all that money for what is essentially just a light source, check out Decathlon for the QUECHUA CAMPING LAMP / BL200 LUMENS RECHARGEABLE LANTERN - RED. At £20 you cant go wrong.
I used it last summer in our 6 man coleman tent, it does its job perfectly. It has a hook for hanging, recharges via micro USB to normal USB, so perfect for charging in your car. It has three light settings, Red, White 100 lumens and White 200 lumens. Once charged it lasts for ages. We camped 3 nights and it did us all three easily without a recharge. It has a handy battery level indicator too so you know when to charge it before it dies on you. Its lightweight, and yes, it lights up the tent perfectly. I recomend it.

Thanks mate, I had seen this and was hoping it would get some decent recommendations! Is the battery life good, looks almost identical to ridgemonkeys

Like others on here I already have the ridge monkey one and will stick with it as used to it now BUT being honest would not recommend it as finding the miniscule button to turn it on in the middle of the night does my nut in!
There, got that off my chest.

To me one of the best things about RM and my pals NGT is they both have a remote to turn the light on or off from laying in bed lol
I would never consider buying a lamp now without one
