Coleman Tent Light

A reader who camps nearly every weekend, I believe this is a perfect gift item for those bookworms who want a good light for reading best selling novels long after the sun goes down

This light will light up the tent and any other dark places around the house.Has a powerfull magnet and a good mounting bracket.Have a three room tent and should have purchased two more.

This light has a very powerful magnet which makes it stick to the tent and stay in place. I had to have my husband put it on becuase my arthritic hands could not seperate the magnets. The light is not really bright enough for it to be as useful as it could be, but it still serves its purpose. It worked great for a nightlight for my younger daughter who does not like the dark when camping and it did not bother my older daughter who likes to have complete dark to get asleep. The fact that it settled that argument made it worth the purchase.

I'll start by saying we are family campers - not hardcore backwoods campers. We camp with a 6 year old and 2 year old and this light is perfect for us. It clips up very easily and gives of plenty of light to get everyone changed into their pajamas, settled in their sleeping bags, and bedtime stories read. I like that I can clip it anywhere so I can put it just out of reach of the kids but in a place that I can reach from the sleeping bag. It has a strong magnet so I don't worry about it falling and breaking (or hitting someone on the head). We've used it on many different camping trips and it has worked well each time. I couldn't be happier with this light.

This light is nice because you can position it pretty much anywhere but it's only bright enough to navigate a dark tent and not step on someone. This is not a reading light or even a light to play cards by. And b/c it's battery operated it's not a good night light. Maybe great in a tiny 1 person tent where you could have it inches from your face/reading material but not in a family size tent.
