Camping and Electrcity.

I've just bought a IP44 four way hookup unit complete with RCD for when we go camping later in the year. We're camping using a tent.

I need to rig up a light of some sort for the tent preferably with a line cord switch so it can be knocked off overnight. Now, we've used the tent once before and noticed a fair amount of condensation on the fabric after the four of us have slept in it overnight.

I'm not happy about this condensation finding it's way into any lampholder I could rig up that was plugged into the hookup via a 13a plugtop.

What I'd like to know is the the best way of lighting the tent without the risk of getting condensation in the light fitting. A bulkhead fitting would obviously be too heavy as I couldn't suspend it from the tent roof.

Could I have some other suggestions please.

Many thanks.

There are some really good windup lanterns in the shops now, I got a good one at my local garage for �9.99.

A minutes winding gives around 30 mins light so it says.
