I'm old. I grew up with Kevin Maddocks telling me that any light brighter than a firefly's arse was wholly unacceptable. I still tut at searchlight head torches and nocturnal fish photography that lights up the opposite bank. But I want a light in my bivvy. Preferably with a remote, rechargeable, and hangable, but with intensity options like - really dim/dim/not so dim, whereas most seem to be more like - midday in summer/dental work/burning magnesium ribbon.
Any suggestions?
Don't tell Kevin.

No remote but the Trakker one that doubles up as a bug zapper ticks a few boxes.

Not rechargeable and no remote but I really like using one of these, I've got the little deflector that goes with it so most of the light ends up shining into my shelter.

I remember years ago there was some sort of camping shop that used to advertise in Carp Talk and Carp World that sold torches and lamps etc, I think the fella used to have a stand at Carp Shows too, anyway I bought a hanging lantern from them that had a really nice Dull Orange colour, I can't seem to find anything like that now days.

You can get the exact same ones as those trakker ones on amazon for a lot less money just without the name on.

Nitecore 360 utility light. It's magnetic, so you stick it on a bivvy table and shine it across your legs to rebait rods, light the kettle etc. It won't light up the whole bivvy, but as it's 360 it'll light the areas you need.

I bought a couple of these for when we go camping:

I don't often use a bivvy light but i have used the lumi-lite once or twice under the brolly on overnighters.
The amber light mode is what i usually choose.

I don't think you can go far wrong with the Ridgemonkey bivvy lite plus. I think I got mine for £25. You can switch to red for really dim light, it also does green which on the dimmest setting is between red and white and perfect a for low level bivvy light.
