Sierra Designs Night Glow Disc Attic Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this item for a ten-day camping trip.We have a two-year old and a suspended night light in the tent seemed like a great idea.All I can say is that this is very poor execution on Sierra Designs part.The little frisbee thing attaches w/ velcro that is not very good quality.The attic itself is ok but smaller than the image implies.The biggest problem I have w/ it is that the light cannot be turned off once the batteries are in.(It takes two rather pricey coin batteries that will only last about seven hours)We had fun w/ it the first night but after that,it was yet another useless piece of plastic w/ a logo. Disappointing for Sierra Designs and definitely not worth the money.Buy a different brand and a wind-up led light for the same money and much more use.

Round Portable Camping Tent Light with Wide Angle 48 LED Lantern 9314 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I knew that this light would be bright before I bought it, but having received it, I was blown away by just how bright it is. I also really liked the option to turn on one ring of lights or the other, or have both on at the same time. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is that the interior wiring where the batteries go seems sort of flimsy and if this light breaks, I think it will break there first. Other than that, though, this light is great. The best tent light I've seen for the money.

Coleman Cool Zephyr Ceiling Fan with Light Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've got two of these little fan/light combos and I love them. They're perfect for car/canoe camping, but would be on the bulky side for backpacking. I also use them in the bunk ends of my pop up camper. They do a great job of circulating the air and fending off condensation.

Used one on a recent canoe camping trip in some pretty hot, humid weather and it allowed me to sleep comfortably and remain sane. I woke up to zero condensation in my tent as well since the air circulation was so good with the fan in use for most of the night (I did turn it off in the early morning hours because it was getting a little chilly).

The fan moves a decent amount of air for a small one or two man tent (or bunk end), and the light is adequate to read by. The night light will provide enough light to see your way around if you need it.

You can also, with the creative use of small bungee cords, direct the air flow directly on your face if you're as hot natured as I am.

It seems to make good use of the battery power, too. I haven't run one out of power yet.

The magnet that hold the fan in place is VERY strong, yet easy to remove with a simple twist.

The fan blades are made out of a soft foam so there's no chance of injury from sticking a finger in the blades.

My only complaints are:
1. Switches are easily turned on when in transit (I always turn one of the batteries upside down to counter this problem).

2. The switches are impossible to see once you've got it up and running. So you just have to guess which switch does what and which direction to slide it. I guess over time it will become second nature, but right now I have trouble keeping it straight.

All in all, I'd say this product is everything that you would expect. I'd recommend it to anyone who will be canoe camping or car camping without electricity. I've been very impressed with it, as have my friends who camp with me. Several of them have told me that this is on their Christmas lists this year.

About Coleman
More than 100 years ago, a young man with an entrepreneurial spirit and a better idea began manufacturing lanterns in Wichita, Kansas. His name was W.C. Coleman, and the company he founded would change life in America. A man plagued with such poor vision he sometimes had to ask classmates to read aloud to him, Coleman saw a brilliant light in 1900 in a drugstore window that stopped him in his tracks. He inquired about the light inside and discovered he was able to read even the small print on a medicine bottle by the illumination. The lamps had mantles, not wicks, and were fueled by gasoline under pressure instead of coal oil. Soon afterward, Coleman started a lighting service that offered a "no light, no pay" clause--a big step forward for merchants who were burned by inferior products that rarely worked--and drew substantial interest from businesses that wanted to keep their lights on after dark.
In the ensuing years, Coleman expanded its product line well beyond lanterns. The company's current catalog is thick with products that make spending time outdoors a pleasure. There are coolers that keep food and drinks cold for days on end, comfortable airbeds that won't deflate during the night, a complete line of LED lights that last for years, powerful portable grills that cook with an authentic open-grill flame, and much, much more. Coleman has truly fashioned much of our outdoor camping experience, and expects to do so for generations to come.

Coleman Tent Light Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a really nice piece of camping kit, as it "clips" with the magnet to any part of your tent in seconds.(It's got a pretty strong magnet bar, which goes on the outside of your tent, and the metal bracket of the light anchors it on the inside.)At first I wondered if the tight contact of the light would cause the tent to leak, and so far the answer has been a very clear and dry no, on many tents of different fabric.

The light is incandescent, inside a traditional sealed bulb.I have had no problem with the light or bulb in the 3+ years I've owned this light.The lens diffuses the light nicely, so if you put this light at the crown of your tent, you will have light throughout.

My only problem with this unit is that it's kind of big and bulky.It's not that heavy, even with the four AA batteries installed, but it's kind of large.In a camping world in which we've got wind-up LED systems and increasingly smaller lights which provide more and more light, I would think that an up-tech'd version of this light could be smaller and throw out more light.If you're doing backwoods trekking where every ounce counts, this is probably not the solution you need.But if you're doing family camping, car camping, or going to camps that have existing tents (summer camps, scout camps), then this is a really fantastic piece of gear.

----------
Update, 24 July 08
Now about a year on, here are additional comments on this piece:

It continues to function just fine, but I have one complaint.I do not store this unit with batteries in it, so each time I go camping I open the case to install and then later remove the batteries.

(The case opens by way of gently pinching the two sides together at the lamp's waist, between the on/off switch and the lower magnetic housing.There are no locks, screws, springs or mechanical latches; the two parts of the lamp are kept together only by the plastic flex of the upper lamp housing itself.)

After a year of easy and careful use the upper plastic housing around the pinch points has started to crack.The unit still works just fine (I just got back from a week in the woods), but it's only a matter of time now until the housing splits or a large chunk of the plastic comes off, preventing the unit from coming together and thereby ruining it.

----------------
Update, 26 May 09

The cracks at the waist are slightly bigger, and slowly growing.The light still works fine, and just served me well on yet another campout, but the day is coming when that plastic housing breaks permanently, and this light will be finished.

----------------
Update, 8 October 2010
Another spring and summer gone, and this light continues to soldier on.It's still got its original bulb and all other original parts.No corrosion, no rust inside or out.No clouding of the plastic lens.The cracking of the waist area I mention above has stabilized somewhat, with no plastic pieces having come off. It still works great, and it'll be with me into another fall and winter of Scout camping.

Product Description:
A great addition to any camping trip, the Coleman tent light will keep your tent illuminated during the evening hours. The light attaches to your tent poles easily and securely via the built-in magnet, so you needn't worry about damaging your tent fabric. The light's powerful, replaceable Krypton bulb, meanwhile, offers plenty of light for reading, playing games, or chatting. Best of all, the light--which operates on four AA batteries (sold separately)--won't get in your way while you sleep or hang out, unlike standard lanterns. Made in China, the light includes an easy on/off switch.

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.
