Amazon.com 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.
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.

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.

Light not real bright.More like a nite light. Used this as a backup light for a first aid cabin tent. Liked being able to move it to areas needed for direct light.. Ready to have available for hurricanes.
Would recommend Coleman suggest that those with pacers/ICDs take warning. Large magnet component.

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.

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.

This lamp is easily installed on your tent. It doesn't throw the kind of bright white light that can be a little jarring (think of those cars with the super-bright headlights), this light is more a creamy yellow, gentler on the eyes. If you have a small tent it will work well. Larger tents will need two or more lamps. The lamp does feel heavy for its size due to the 4 AA batteries and the two magnets. The magnets are very powerful- don't store this near any credit cards or other items that would be affected by the magnetism. Also, I recommend putting something (thin cardboard, fabric swatch) between both sides of the magnet to protect the fabric of your tent. When you remove the magnet, you have to pivot the metal attachment piece, and I'm afraid that if I do that repeatedly, it will degrade the tent in that spot.
