I installed 2 of these in my 8 person tent. I'd say on a level of brightness from 1 to 10 it's a 6. Super strong magnets on the back hold it in place really tight and olso looks super clean when they are up.

We've used this light for many camping trips and we love it. The strong magnet holds the light securly in place without slipping. It can easily and quickly be moved from outside to inside the tent. Also, it is very bright for its compact size. Very so glad we bought it.

The product works so far, but it's pretty much obsolete now. Meaning, everything now is LED powered, which are incredibly light and compact. This guy is bulky, very heavy (with the batteries and magnet), and the light is pretty dim. I have an LED flashlight which is powered by watch batteries that is far brighter than this light, and it is the size of a large pen. This light takes 4 AA batteries and still gives off a pretty dim light. And did I mention it's bulky and heavy?

Hey, the light works, the magnet is strong, and it does the job, but I'll bet (if it already doesn't exist) someone will come out with an LED tent light that is far brighter and much less bulky. I'd recommend this light only for car camping and just for basic lighting needs, not for reading.

We were going tenting for the first time with 5 kids.This is one of the best acessories we could have purchased.My kids have a fascination with flashlights, so they are never where I leave them and I didn't want anything with a flame anywhere near the tent.We mounted this light over the door of the tent and had light whenever we needed it. It was bright enough for us to see what we were doing and I didn't have to go looking for the flashlight!

They are very bright, and last for quite some time, but they are rather heavy and weigh down the tent a bit when attached.
