    Default Rechargable Tent lights

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a tent light? I'm thinking rechargable LEDs. Craftsman makes this, but the reviews say it is not well built. For the price ($35ish) it might be work modifying.

    Ive got a couple of those. They work well but not very bright. They're better for mood lighting when the little lady joins me on a trip

    I have this UFO looking light


    Works off of 3 AA batteries though. Ive had it two yrs and still using the original batteries. Puts out enough light to read in the tent.
    I got it at Walmart but I see K-Mart has them also for $10.00

    I picked up a couple of these (or similar) this past xmas and strung one up on each side of the RTT. Surprisingly, quite a bit of light. Used twisty-ties to secure the light string to the webbing and leave them in when I fold up the tent....

    Also available in blue, red, multi-color
