About Coleman
The Coleman Company has been creating and innovating products for recreational outdoor use since W.C. Coleman started selling gasoline-powered lanterns in 1900. Inventor of the hugely popular fold-up camp stove, Coleman developed a plastic liner for his galvanized steel coolers in 1957–the birth of the modern cooler–and the company has been improving their utility and design ever since. The array of products that bear the Coleman name now includes just about everything you might need to work or play outdoors, from tents and sleeping bags to boats, backpacks, and furniture.
We have been using this light for close to ten years now. Using it only for car camping anyway, since it is a bit too heavy for backpacking – we like to travel light. It is not showing any signs of wear so far. It is not an extremely bright light, but it is not dim. It is plenty bright to use for general night time tent stuff, like setting up your bedding, getting the kids settled in, etc. Because it is not a modern type of LED light the batteries don’t last as long, but when we bought this there were no LED lights available.
The older technology is the only reason I am giving it 4 stars. When we purchased this light there was really nothing else on the market similar to it and the magnet fastener was a great new idea. So now, if we were to be looking for a tent light, we would look at some of the newer, brighter, more efficient LED type tent lights. The only drawback to those is that they tend to project most of their light in a straight line, i.e. they don’t diffuse the light well. This Coleman light does diffuse very well; it spreads fairly equal lighting all around itself making a very pleasant environment. Would we buy it again? Maybe, but the LED tent lights are probably a better deal.
Its a pretty decent light. It would be nice if it was a little brighter though. I need to purchase maybe 2 more.. I do like how it can attach to the tent, and not have to carry it around.. very cool feature there. Just not as bright as id like.
This light is perfect when camping. The metal part would have to go on the outside of the tent on top, hooks by magnet. Gives the right amount of light just to change or even read in the tent. I’ve had my light for quite some yrs and still works great. Takes 4AA batteries and will last. Would never go campin without this light.
great light. Magnets allow you to have it hanging from the top/ceiling of your tent if you want. small, compact, yet plenty bright enough for my small 2 man tent.
