Hi all, as per title any suggestions for these that you have tried and tested and recommend please?
Seen some Trakker ones but £40+, any similar but more cost effective - but reliable - from the other usual suspects or similar?
TIA

My youngest son bought me a ridgemonkey one 9 years ago now for Xmas, can't fault it (it's the remote type)

Another vote for the Sunblessa (2nd gen I think mine is?). Had it over a year now and it’s been spot on. Much better than my old original RidgeMonkey one and had a really strong magnet.

Probably not for this time of year but i was bought a UCO candle lantern a few years ago.

Other then the price of the candles they are great for some light in the bivvy and add a decent amount of heat. I use mine in autumn and early spring (don't do winter nights much anymore)

Thanks all, have looked around for some reviews too, gone with the Fox strip light so hopefully will be good 👍
