    Default Outwell Merope Tent Light

    We've bought a chandelier for the tent... well we bought a light that hangs down from the tent ceiling anyway.

    Where will it all end?

    It's actually pretty good... better than the two fluorescent inspection lamps that we had been using strapped up.
    It gives a nicer ambient light and it has all the nice touches such as a chain to hang the light from and an in-line switch.
    So a thumbs up for the Merope Tent Light.

    We paid less than that. About £20'ish I think.

    We've got a merope hanging in our Bear Lake... It's a great light, well worth the money IMO.

    We've bought an 18 watt (I think - might have been 20) low energy bulb, it really is bright... It's equivalent to a 100W normal bulb... It is so much better than the UFO LED lights we used before...

    Apart from the fact I keep cracking my head on it...

    I just watched the video, and I must agree with you it is quite over the top...

    You would need a truck to transport all the gear they have.. Wait!!! I have a truck .. better get my smoking jacket looked out ..LOL

    If anyone else wants to see the video,, "take some time out and relax" http://www.outwell.dk/Frontpage.aspx...&lid=1&l=en-GB
