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.

Hold this light.

When you're in a tent, in the dark, a flashlight often won't get the job done. When you're changing clothes, or trying to use two hands for something, the flashlight ends up laying on the ground, providing ineffective light, or clutched under your arm or between your legs, making life difficult and... review »

Critical Review
Great for car camping-too heavy to backpack Batteries drain fast

It is not a great quality item.  Battery compartment clips can break somewhat easily just trying to open to change batteries (AA).  Better for car camping but backpacking would add a lot of extra weight when every ounce counts.  Even with new batteries, it does not get very bright with the included... review »

This light is inexpensive and lightweight. The light it puts out is more than enough to see what you're doing in a tent and getting ready for bed. But it is not enough if you're a reader at night. The biggest downfall of this item is the way it is attached to the tent. You have to be outside and inside almost at the same time since it magnetically attaches through the tent shell. 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 habit...
