excellent design. For bed, not disturb the other half, but bright enough for anything you want to do, especially to take it out and then put it on your desk for some up close work. so flexible and twists in every way. uses usb if you need that. I looked at many many lights, but i agree, this is a 5 star product!! would buy it again. price is great.

Good quality, Good outlooking with Lowest price as a LED reading and Torch device

I have seen many LED lights in the market with either crazy prices or poor quality. With an attractive price, I was willing to give it a try. Overall, I am happy about its performance and show it to my friends.

This is the 5th set of portable LED lamp that I bought and I have to say finally someone got it right. This lamp is bright, very light weight and portable. I am always on the go and often find myself typing, reading or working away at Starbucks. I enjoy that relaxed & mellow environment (coffee ain't bad too, Peet's is still better! :P) but hated the fact that it is often too dark to do work, especially during late afternoon to night time. This lamp really solved my conundrum! It provides ample light and lasted me so far 8 hrs on four AAA batteries. It is spec at 10hrs for 4 AAA batteries. I will post my result once the batteries run out, at which time, I will switch over to rechargeable batteries. It also comes with a USB cable for connecting to Mac (or PC) for external power. My only complain is that it does not charge rechargeable batteries. Hmmm, what else..Oh it also came with a little mesh bag for easy stow away. I like the elegant Apple-esque finish which fits perfectly with my Macbook :). If you are in the market for a portable LED lamp, this is it. Don't buy those clip on ones. Trust me, they are not bright enough.

I really want to love this bed. We have to return the bed because it leaks air. The cap doesn't stay on. For the money, we also would like to have the pump works with AC. I used the car charger to blow up the bed but it was too big to get it into the tent so we had to use battery to charge it. The bed gets soft very quickly. It is comfortable when it is firm. I have a single airbed that I got more than 10 years ago. That one holds the air better.

Bought this bed for my son who came home from college for the summer. He says it is comfortable, but needs air added every few days, thus the three stars. Pump which is included inflates it quickly, but as previous reviewer commented, buy an electric pump so you can re-inflate in the room where the bed is set up. Also, read in one review for an air mattress to use silicon grease to get a good seal on gasket, but cannot find it anywhere.

Purchased this specifically to use while camping. Used the included portable hand pump (requires 8 c-batteries). Pump is not too noisy and inflated fully very quickly - didn't time it but their claim of 2 minutes would not be far off. The bed is very comfortable and supportive for an air mattress and held the air really well for the 2 nights we camped.

I purchased the Queen-sized version of this aerobed for overseas guests who were staying with me for 2 weeks. It was fast and easy to inflate, and retained the air well throughout the 2 weeks. I only needed to add a little air every 2 or 3 days, in order to firm up the mattress. (During the day, we just propped the inflated mattress up against the wall, instead of deflating (and re-inflating) it everyday.) My two male guests (about 150 lbs each) found the mattress comfortable. Deflation was fast and easy too, and the aerobed folds and packs away neatly into the provided sack. The only 2 "complaints" I have are: 1) Because I had the mattress on a bare wood floor, the mattress made loud squeaking noises when my guests moved on it. 2) I purchased an AC-DC power converter from Radio Shack so that I could use wall socket electricity for the pump. Unfortunately, the power generated by the converter was not powerful enough to get the pump to work properly. I ended up buying (and using) 8 C batteries for the pump. Overall, though, I am pleased with this product and would recommend it.

This is a great air mattress! I wanted a good, durable mattress to take along camping and for using when no bed is available. The pump inflates quickly with 8 C batteries or when plugged into the car adaptor. The only reason I rated this 4 stars was based on the pump. A suggestion I would have for the manufacturer would be to allow the pump to be plugged into the wall. The flashlight on it is convenient, but the button for it could easily be switched on if it were bumped, so I have been taking the batteries out when storing it. The mattress retains air; 2 adults slept on it overnight and we didn't end up on the floor! Very comfortable for an air mattress. The height is good, not too high for using in the tent.

First of all, I think the nightlight function of the unit works fine. It's just bright enough. That is the only positive, really. It takes up two plug holes and is unattractive. The main complaint is the flashlight aspect of it. From the beginning it didn't last long or stay very bright, and now, about 6 months later the flashlight doesn't work.... Which I found out during a power outage.

This product is adequate and performs as described. However, it has a "cheap" plastic feel to it and the nightlight is a rather harsh, white light (with red indicator light, too). My daughter didn't want it in her room (prefers a softer regular nightlight) and I don't blame her. We bought 2 and they both ended up the hallway outside bedrooms. That'll do in an emergency, though.

Just received two of these units. Both have adequate light for the purpose; both flashlights work. One works as intended; the other does not turn off in the presence of light, so it does not work as a night-light. Since the power consumption is so low, I just stuck the one that would go off in a bathroom where it can serve as an emergency flashlight. I did not contact the seller so please do not take this as a reflection on the seller. I have no reason to believe he/she would not have cheerfully sent me a replacement. It's just that it was not worth the hassle of returning it for a relatively minor problem.

Our hurricane planning included emergency lights to replace several that no longer work. I did an extensive "google", and found the best reviews for this light. And for good reason. It is a great night light, which gives it a very practical use when not in "emergency" mode. (I have to add that my wife does not think it is a good night light because it is too "dull". That is why I think it is a great night light, because, in my opinion, it's not glaring! You'll have to arrive at your own opinion, but I feel a night light should give a hint of what you are seeing, and not be a head light.) The flashlight part is very practical. First, in a power failure, it will automatically go on. Secondly, if you need a flashlight, just pull it out of the receptical and flick the switch to "on", and it's a flashlight. Again, it is not going to light up the neighborhood, but you do want it to show you around when you need to find items, such as candles, and the bigger flashlights. I would recommend Greenlite for any home use.

I have 2 3-in-1 night lites for about 8-9 months. They plug in 24/7 and I use them every night as a night lights. Several times per month I use them as a flash light too and I complitely satisfy with the quality. 3 times I had outage in my home and they worked perfectly. The best part is: unlike the other flashlights I have, these one always can be found at the same place, they have never had discharged batteris and batteries life is long. I've never had any problem with this product and recomend it to everybody.

Batteries are so expensive these days! Amazon was the only place I could find a bulk set of batteries for so little!

These batteries last a while. They also come in convenient packaging. Generally, I prefer rechargeable batteries, but D's are impractical as rechargeables and don't last as long.

After a recent evening power outage that lasted several hours, I decided to better prepare myself by purchasing some backup lighting. Along with three of these Dorcy 41-1016 Indoor/Outdoor Table Lamp, Colors May Vary I purchased a 12-pack of the D batteries required to equip the three lamps. Turned out to be a good combination at a reasonable cost. The power went out again last week and I had plenty of long-lasting light to read by. These batteries seem to be just as good as the more expensive Alkalines at a fraction of the price.

These bateries seem to be seconds or rejects from the manufaturer. I purchased two 12-packs of these "D" cell batteries. When I received them I opened both sealed packages and found at least half of the batteries in each pack were dented on the sides near the tops or bottoms and others were scratched. They all have expiration dates of DEC 2017, measured above 1.6 volts and don't seem to be leaking, so they might be just fine. I reported the problem to Amazon so maybe you won't have the same experience.

I haven't bought D cells in a long time but found myself in need of some thanks to an upcoming baby. The baby swing and mobile above the crib both required D cells. These seem to work fine and are a decent price, [...]

Whether one cares for all the retreads of the 80s songs on this disc is one thing ... but ... it is advertised as being Michael Giacchino's soundtrack for the film, and ... alas ... there is not one note of his wonderful score on this CD! I could, of course, have avoided disappointment by examining the track-listing more scrupulously (or, I confess, at all!), but no, I rushed headlong heedlessly. Thus confirming yet again the age-old motto: CAVEAT EMPTOR!

A comic book geek as a teenager, I winced when I first saw this movie advertised. Once I saw it, however, I loved it so much that I bought the DVD and soundtrack. My favorite is Steven Strait's "One Thing Leads to Another." I followed him to "Undiscovered" and that soundtrack which has him singing almost all the songs. His growth as a singer is great. I made a movie mix and play all these songs in my classroom sometimes during group work. My students loved the movie Sky High too.

Original songs for all of the 80's covers on this soundtrack: 1. I Melt With You-Modern English 2. Through Being Cool-Devo 3. Save It For Later-The English Beat 4. Everybody Wants To Rule The World-Tears for Fears 5. One Thing Leads To Another-The Fixx 6. Lies-Thompson Twins 7. Voices Carry-'Til Tuesday 8. Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want-The Smiths 9. True- Spandau Ballet 10. Just What I Needed-The Cars 11. Can't Stop The World-The GoGos 12. And She Was- Talking Heads 13. Twist And Crawl-The English Beat LISTEN TO THE ORIGINALS-this soundtrack was a cute idea and is fun if you like covers. But you cannot beat the original songs. (In reference to some of the other reviews for this CD-there is not one original song on this soundtrack, nor is there a one-hit wonder covered on this soundtrack. Every artist covered here had multiple hits in the eighties.)

I loved the Sky High movie so much I got the soundtrack and it soars :)

We liked the movie as a whole family and now love the soundtrack. It is a fun variety of 80s songs that parents love and kids can still sing along to. Only disappointment is that the songs are not done by the original artists.

i kept searching for the "Charlie Brown Christmas music", and this 3 disc set seemed to be the best value and the most offering that i came across. My wife and i always enjoyed it when it came on the radio and could visualize the shows in our minds eye. (of course, i think our kids think we are a couple of blockheads) However, it will take you back to when you was a little one and they had decent Christmas shows and you were excited to watch them and listen to the good music.

After reading the other reviews for this box-set I decided to jot down my own opinions of this product and hopefully clear the air. This collectors set is a tin box with three separate albums: * A Charlie Brown Christmas - Soundtrack to the CBS Special * Charlie Brown's Holiday Hits - A myriad collection of Vince Guaraldi Trio from the various TV specials including "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown", "A Charlie Brown Christmas", "You're Not Elected Charlie Brown" and "A Boy Named Charlie Brown" * 40 Years: A Charlie Brown Christmas - A compilation of remixes performed by the likes of David Benoit, Vanessa Williams, Brian McKnight and Dave Koz A Charlie Brown Christmas is a staple of Christmas in our house. The other CDs are fun and whimsical and hardly negate from the value of the package. All of these albums can be purchased separately, but the box case is attractive and makes an excellent addition to the CD shelf. I picked mine up on a whim at Bed, Bath and Beyond, and have not been disappointed. This product page describes Monster Superdiscs that contain digital copies of the music with supposedly superior sound. This collection does NOT contain any Monster Superdiscs, although those can be found elsewhere. Note: This version of A Charlie Brown Christmas is the Concord 2006 remaster that garnered criticism a few years back due to poor editing. Concord has since cleaned up the reverb and equalization; and it does sound just like you remember.

This HD CD which really works fine. Even the MP3's and AAC's are high quality files.

I FIND AGREEMENT WITH SOME OF THE COMMENTS OF THE EARLIER REVIEWERS IN THAT A RE-DO OF THE CLASSIC PEANUTS SCORE (WHICH WAS FANTASTIC AND ALSO AVAILABLE AS A MONSTER DISC) WAS NOT ONE OF RECORDED MUSICS GREATEST NEEDS. ALSO, THE VOCALS BY MS. WILLIAMS AND MS. KHAN ARE SADLY PATHETIC AND COULD BE READILY SHAMED BY ANY OF THE KIDS IN THE HIGH SCHOOL CHOIR. MS. BRAXTON'S EFFORT COULD EASILY BE THE MOST HIDEOUS NOISE I HAVE EVER HEARD. AS I WAS PLAYING THE DISC SOMEWHAT LOUDLY TO APPRECIATE THE SPECTACULAR SURROUND IMAGERY, HER VOCAL TORTURES DROVE MY CAT TO SEEK SOLACE AND REFUGE UNDER THE SOFA. SHE MAY STILL BE THERE. BUT THE SOUND,THE FANTASTIC SOUND. THIS IS WHAT 5.1 SURROUND IS ALL ABOUT. ASIDE FROM SOME IMPRESSIVE FILM AUDIO TRACKS, I HAVE NEVER HEARD A DISC SO SKILLFULLY UTILIZING THE SURROUND TECHNOLOGY. THE MONSTER ENGINEERS HAVE CREATED A SONIC MASTERPIECE EQUAL TO TWO OF MY FAVORITE 5.1 RECORDINGS: MIKE OLDFIELD'S TUBULAR BELLS UPDATE AND A JEAN MICHEL JARRE IMPORT TITLED AERO. I EAGERLY AWAIT WHATEVER THE MONSTERS PUT THEIR HANDS TO NEXT. I ORDERED THE RAY CHARLES MONSTER DISC TODAY. AT LEAST THERE THEY HAVE GREAT SOUNDS TO EVOLVE INTO GREAT SONICS. WITH THIS CHARLIE BROWN DISC, THE WRAPPING SOUND SURROUNDS SOME MUNDANE SOUNDS.

...and I haven't even bought this CD. I got the email today from Amazon advertising it, and my first reaction (because the original CD soundtrack from Guaraldi is the GREATEST CHRISTMAS ALBUM OF ALL TIME) was that I'd give it a try. I mean, come on, surround sound? How cool is that? Little did I know, before reading the previous review, that it was a whole new album/arrangement of all the songs. Horendous indeed!!!! Now, if they had simply taken the original tracks and put them in surround, maybe improved the mix....who knows....? But I can tell you this: for me, part of the beauty of the original recording is the flat out INNONCENCE and glorious LO-FI of the mixes. It immediately takes me back to that one night of the year when CBS would air the special. I lived for that evening, as did many of you. Why am I taking the time to write a review for something I haven't even heard? Because I don't want to know that anyone else had their Christmas almost ruined over another modern-day artist trying to cash in on a true genius' talents, just like the previous reviewer so correctly stated. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Benoit, but really......compose your own Christmas songs and leave the classics alone, David. Some things in life should simply be off limits. In other words.....I SECOND THE MOTION!!!!! LONG LIVE THE ORIGINAL RECORDING!!!!!!! (oh, and God bless us....every one.....)
