I have a Coleman CT-50 which is very bright, however turning it off takes two clicks. This seems petty but it's irritating. Does this operate the same

I'm not sure how your CT-50 operates but the Coleman 6AA MC-E does require two clicks to turn off - the first click however just reduces the output while the second click turns off the flashlight completely. This is a really great flashlight.

The first click is for" bright" and the second click is for the "dim" setting. It sounds like the dim setting isn't working on your flashlight. The third click is "off".

one click for full power/brightness, second click for about half power/brightness, third click to turn off. it is what it is... I have no issue compared with the possible alternatives. super long life with quality rechargeable batteries...

This is correct. The first click turns it on full power, the second click reduces the brightness and saves battery, which extreme bright is not required.

No, you need to either buy some D cells and/or the rechargeable battery pack for it to work. Depends on how much you're going to use it. I normally prefer a rechargeable solution, but the alkalines last quite a while with the LED bulb, so I'm trying the disposal route initially. The Coleman pack does fit other Coleman devices, so you might want to look at what else you can use it with before you decide. It is a very nice light.

By clicking the on off button quickly. 2 clicks for a medium, 3 clicks for the lowest setting, 4 clicks for a strobe and 5 on offs for the SOS. It really stinks that they give no directions.

Should not matter but normally I turn it on and don't turn it off right away. It does come on quite bright.

Yes...the on/off button, when pressed and held, acts as a very good dimmer switch. From really bright to almost off in a second.

Sure did. All of the clicking drive me nuts. I thing I have mine set at 5% tolerance and it fixed it. Going to have to find your own mix that works for your environment. It will pick up even the slightest light from like oven clocks to neighbors lights outside. It sees it all. My buddy had to leave his ir off and just use an external ir light. Good luck.

I have used several of these, and you will find a "click off" sound after the lowest dim point on the switch. It is than turned off.

It has a click switch! Click once to turn on and again to turn off! This is the best spotlight I have ever owned. I will be planning on more in the near future.

I was wondering the same thing, Nick - because this product description doesn't give any info about lumen rating, I went to the Coleman site, and the model number (2000009460) is the same on both this product and the CPX™ 6 Classic XL LED Lantern on the Coleman site. The running hours are a big discrepancy, as you note -- if you believe Amazon, it lasts 25 hours on high and 50 on low; whereas the Coleman site has it lasting 15 hours on high and 125 hours (!) on low. If either the vendor or someone from Coleman is monitoring this, maybe they can clarify.

I try to not turn it on in bright light, I've heard it could damage them. I love the binocs, we use them to find hogs. Not as clear as more expensive ones but good for the price.

No. I only use mine (3 units) for lamps and have never needed an on-off feature. Great little device.

We actually haven't changed our old one out yet. We currently have an older model Lux and it has a definite click but it doesn't wake us up at night. Hope this helps.

NO I don't. I only know that it worked on my stove when the coleman regulator would not. Sorry I could not be of more help.

I replaced a coleman unit and the Atwood was 50% quieter . It is a great unit. It is on a houseboat . Going to buy a second unit soon. Would like to stay with amazon, but they couple hundred dollars higher than other places on the web.

There's a discrepancy in hours between this product description and the Coleman site, Scott. It's the same model number (2000009460) as the CPX 6 Classic XL LED Lantern on coleman.com, but the Coleman site says it has "a runtime of up to 15 hours on high and 125 hours on low" whereas Amazon says "runs 25 hours on High, 50 hours on Low". Given that, I don't know if the Coleman site has an accurate lumens rating, but they claim there that "this lantern shines 350 ultra-bright lumens more than 30 feet on its high setting". That's all I can tell you, unfortunately.

The Cree 40426 is about both 30% brighter and uses a more efficient LED. In addition, it has is has the added utility of taking the top off and hanging from the bottom so it shines down as bright area light for a work area or cooking.BATTERY CAPACITY: the below description is in error. My CREE uses 3 x AA batteries, NOT AAA; so the Coleman has no advantage there.

If you mean turn it off as opposed to reducing the light, yes, there is a button on the unit. This Rite Lite does not dim.
