Chris, if you are still around.
I'm getting fed up of looking now so I hope you will say yes :-)
Do you think this one will be suitable?
If it isn't going to be, I'll leave it for another time. Ta muchly.

The unit provides 880 lumens of light, which is roughly the same as a bulb that you might use as your main source of light in a bedroom. (i.e. it's not as bright as the lighting you might like to have in your living room or kitchen but it's brighter than the light from a desk lamp or bedside lamp). That would seem to be bright enough in my view.

At just 10W, it will cost next to nothing to run. (You'll get about about 5 hours of light for just 1p). All you need to worry about is as to how easily (or not) it can be connected to the mains power in your home - but that's going to be the same whichever lamp you decide to buy (unless, of course, you change your mind and opt for a solar one).
Question Author
The connections are already there from when I had a coach lamp.
I noticed a few people said the cable could have done with being a bit longer, but it didn't seem to be too much of a problem.
No point getting a solar one. I have those in the gutter and they only light up in the summer.
I'm on the wrong side of the road, the sun is always in the back.
