Review on Coleman Rechargeable Camping OneSource Lighting Cell Phones & Accessories for Accessories by Sean Burnett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Bought two, loved the bright color but BOTH broke after two hikes

My husband has one of these closed Got his birthday in June and I liked the concept and lighting scheme so I bought a second one and we gave away our 'real' lights. On the first drive the light started to flicker and went out. After touching it it started again. That went on for about 15 minutes. until it's gone forever. Our second lantern did the same on our next hike. So I called Coleman customer service and they initially told me we couldn't get a refund for the 'gift' but they ended up giving us a refund for another light. UPDATE: I initially gave this flashlight one star out of five, I just updated it when I realized the problem is actually very simple. The poor electrical connection was due to the top battery cover not screwing all the way down. If you push a little more than you would normally screw the battery back in, it goes into a small groove where the connection works. So the whole time we were responsible for not fitting properly. Since we found out, they have worked very well. I love the hue of warm white light they give off compared to other brands. But another bad thing is that the clear plastic headlight cover scratches very easily and I recommend you make a soft cover for it once you use it, otherwise it will tarnish eventually.

Pros
  • COLEMAN ONE SOURCE: Charge up your outdoor gear and gadgets with a spare battery system
Cons
  • Not bad but...
