Cody has covered the options very well. Granted, the water bottle has some appeal for its recycling third-world simplicity, but my question is how much do you really need a light in your yurt? Are you planning to read novels in there? Unlikely. Mainly you will only be in your yurt to sleep, or visit, or rummage through your gear, in which case a cheap LED lantern will cover your lighting needs without the complications of how to hang a water bottle through the roof.
