Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Keep your tent cool, comfortable, and well lit on warm summer or fall evenings with the Coleman Cool Zephyr ceiling fan, which includes a built-in light. The Cool Zephyr features an adjustable two-speed airflow control, so you can set the fan to high if you're desperate for circulation or low if you just need a steady breeze. The separately controlled light, meanwhile, includes four white LEDs and one amber LED. The white LEDs give you a nice reading or game-playing light, while the amber LED makes a terrific night light. Best of all, the Cool Zephyr attaches to any tent with its powerful magnetic plates. The Cool Zephyr runs on four D-cell batteries (sold separately).

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Multi-functional and dependable, December 6, 2008

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Helpful for light but fan was a big disapointment, April 22, 2009

I used this in our tent for a campout. I hung it from the top of the tent and it was nice to have some light coming from above.

But for cooling or feeling the air move, you need to be within a foot or MAYBE two of the fan. Any farther than that and you don't feel a thing. The batteries were brand new so that can't have been why.

We live in South Florida and have been through numerous hurricanes and power outages in the last few years and I have a few battery operated fans for the entire family to use, so I can compare it to others out there. I purchased one at Bed, Bath & Beyond with which you can feel the air from 5 feet away. Now if I could only figure out how to hang it from the tent!
