Runs off 240 or 12v and just clips on to the poles

We've got an old Tiley lamp, acts as a nice little heater too [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

Is it safe using a tilley lamp in an enclosed space? We have one but I always thought I'd get gassed out in an awning!

a properly functioning Tilley lamp is pefectly safe in a properly vented tent/awning.

i have three tilleys but space is a thing on this trip as we are tenting it with the car not the bus (as she is still under resto) and finding a decent rechargeable lamp that you can actually see by is seeming epic.

Bought a 24LED one from blacks, tried it in a dark room........well if i rubbed a balloon hard enough i would probably get more light. certainly would not be able to read by it.... :roll:
