(this link is actually pretty shit but you get the idea of what i mean)
got half way through page two and skipped to the end so apologies if someone has already covered this. Best to go for (in my experience) the builders style lamps, from somewhere like Screwfix: http://www.screwfix.com/c/electrical-lighting/work-lights/cat4780004I've seen something similar in use at the crag, looked pretty sweet and more crucially, the plasterer that did my house had something like this that blinded the shit out of me but did dry the plaster off a bit quicker(this link is actually pretty shit but you get the idea of what i mean)

Its great, and unlike using tiny LED lamps etc you're actually dealing with quite a large diffuse lightsource so the shadows aren't so hard.

for the money, I'd rather have 2 of these (still weigh less than a DeWalt)http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,8731.msg484929.html#msg484929
I will be uploading a video soon
http://www.toolstation.com/m/part.html?p=46130Think I might have posted this up before, but can't be bothered to trawl back through the thread.These are flawless, cheap and super light, they, come with European adaptors and in car chargers. I have two and if fully charged both will easily last a 2.5 hours session. (If my computer doesn't explode, I will be uploading a video soon, which will feature climbing at night with these lamps, I will post in here so you can see)Quick question, you recon you could take these on a plane in luggage??

https://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/rwl12-12v-rechargeable-fluorescent-lig £50 this is what I've got, 5hr battery life, quite heavy, broke one but managed to fix it. Would go for the £65 if I bought again. Gonna try getting an LED light bulb as per Daves suggestion.
Word. I've also seen the machine mart type break.I've seen the green ones in action and they're great. Light, bright and reliable. Definitely go with something LED.Can anyone comment on the brightness of the yellow screwfix ones? Best get two?
