Bongo Fury

I've been reading up on here about how people have sorted lighting out in the awnings.

I like the idea of a light in the step somewhere as that would be useful at other times too (just as an entry light) - however I'm not sure it would light the whole awning well and it would get covered as you walk past it - making it dark in the awning?

The best alternative I've found was going off others recommendations for a work light / inspection light.

I found this one...

It has it's own battery - which can be charged off either 12v or mains, it has a magnet to fix it in place or a hook. Can be positioned to throw the light optimally. It also works as a torch so can be used for the night time toilet runs! Quotes 5-6 hours runtime.

I know it's not a permanent fixture but it likes like it would be a handy way to light up the awning - what do you reckon?

I think I'd like to make a step light too which could be permanently in place then this as an additional light.

I have the Sealey version of that torch and use it during motor repairs plus took it to Bongo Bash as camping light much as you describe. Very useful but those LEDs are very bright and you wouldn't want to be having to look them, so positioning as an awning light needs thought. Charging no problem though as it can be charged each day using LB ciggie socket.
