Coleman 2D WaterBeam Auto-On Flashlight

Hiking & Camping > Lighting AccessoriesRated: ** by 1 review.

Backcountry.com (Fall 2009)

Damnit, your basement flooded and it’s pitch-black down there because the lights aren’t working. Hang on, what’s that floating light down there? Is that the Coleman 2D WaterBeam Auto-On Flashlight? Probably. This light automatically turns on when it’s dropped in the water, which means you’ll be able to see, whether it’s a basement flooding situation or whether you’re out on the water at night. The WaterBeam floats, runs for about 15 hours, and uses a durable housing and shock-absorbing rubber head to dismiss drops at the campsite.

Not worth the shipping cost

Rating:**

This light is of the old generation incandescent bulbs, which means it generates more heat (heat loss simply wastes available light energy to thermal energy, thus LEDs much more efficient), bulb can break, unless you have fabulous optics (this does not) you get irregular crappy beam. Lastly, weight is an issue, this takes 2D batteries they are heavy and cumbersome, not what you want camping or really doing anything considering how little light you get. Overall save your money, yes it floats and yes it is waterproof, but that to me does not outweigh the fact it is a flashlight first and then has cool floating waterproof features 2nd. Go spend an extra 10 bucks and by a much better light.
