Coleman Tent Light Review Summary
The Coleman Tent Light is a great concept and our Viewpoint reviewers agree that it provides good lighting for normal use but also report that it is hard to set up since it uses magnetic energy and attaches to both the inside and outside of the tent. If you don’t have a second camper, this can become a little difficult to install the Coleman Tent Light. One reviewer stated that the Coleman Tent Light wasn’t quite bright enough for someone wanting to sit up and read a book. For regular use and emergencies in the middle of the night, the Coleman Tent Light is a good thing to have on your camping trip.

I tried it on the side of the tent but it always slid down and wouldn't stay were it was. If you have a taller tent like I do, it's a little difficult to get the light all the way at the top unless you are in the…
