Camping Gadgets - Cooler Light

Thursday November 27, 2008
Coghlan's Cooler Light - This gadget will come in handy whenever you're digging around in your cooler after dark. It has a built in level sensing device that turns the light on when you open the lid of your cooler. After 20 seconds, the Cooler Light dims to off. This gadget and hundreds more like it are made by Coghlan's, a Canadian company that has been making outdoor accessories for over 50 years. You can find Coghlan's products in most sporting goods stores.

Hi David! Happy to see The Cooler Light in a prominent area of your blog. Did you know that The Cooler Light was invented by a mother and daughter team from Ottawa, Canada?? Linda Pond and Rhonda Puckett had an ah-ha moment after a ball game 3 years ago. We were tired of fishing around in the cooler, never knowing what we would get. ‘This cooler needs a light’ were the famous words spoken by Rhonda. Linda just happened to own a company that took NEEDS to market. So she did. And the rest is history.
