"I was given a BeaconBuoy for Father's day last year by my kids and I use it to light the water around our cottage dock at night; it's just great.  The kids don't worry about the boogie man getting them anymore when we swim to cool off before bed on hot nights and I don't have trouble finding the dock when coming in from fishing after sunset.  I just hit the remote control and the lights come on before I even get close to the dock. The BeaconBuoy is the best thing to hit our cottage in a long time."

"Our BeaconBuoy came in handy on more than one occasion this past summer. It seemed to be the summer of power failures at the cabin and the BeaconBuoy was always there to save us.  We treat power failures as family adventures. My husband Bob gets the kids going on Monopoly and cards and then gets out the camping gear. The kids just love it because we get to have all of the fun of camping without leaving the cabin.  I hang the BeaconBuoy from the beam between the cook area and the kitchen table and the BeaconBuoy provides all the light we need. I can see to cook and the kids can see to play their games. I especially like that there are no shadows making it hard to see because the light shines exactly where you need it."

"The BeaconBuoy is the best light I have ever used for shrimping. The shrimp just school around it and because it is ambient light the whole school actually lights up. It works so much better than the lanterns and other corded floating lights on the market."

"If you want Crappie, you had better get a BeaconBuoy.  I can't believe how well it works. It's so much easier to use than my old rig with wires and parts and pieces everywhere.  It used to take me at least 10 minutes to get my old set up going and then I had to be careful that I did not hook the wires or trip on them in the boat. Now I just hook the BeaconBuoy to the boat cleat, toss it in and watch the bait fish swarm around the light. I love it, and so do the Crappie."

"The BeaconBuoy is the best light I have aboard my 36' Sea Ray Express Cruiser.  My wife and I keep our boat on Lake Champlain and the BeaconBuoy has added a new dimension to boating for us. Now all our friends have them because they are so great for rafting parties and late night swims.  Marjory used to be nervous about swimming off the boat at night and I could hardly ever get her to join me. Now she feels much safer and will come with me most of the time.  Any plans to add a heater to the light? It does just about everything else and we use it more out of the water than in, quite frankly."

"We take the BeaconBuoy camping with us every weekend and I have to tell you that it is the best camping lantern we have ever had.  One BeaconBuoy does the job of three of our old lanterns and there are no more batteries to keep track of or costly propane cylinders to purchase.  Our old lanterns used to cast big shadows because they only shone light out the sides. The BeaconBuoy throws the light everywhere and it is so much brighter that we only need one.  The kids love it too because they can take it to the beach with them at night for a quick swim before bed. I like it because now I can see them when they do.  Why didn't someone invent this sooner?"

"The BeaconBuoy has become a permanent fixture in our RV. We like to explore the back country and this means that we are often without a hook-up when we bed down at night. The BeaconBuoy provides all of the light we need inside and out. We can conserve our onboard batteries and we don't have to run the engine.  The best part is I haven't changed a single bulb in my RV's outside lights since I purchased the BeaconBuoy. It is so much better than our old camping lanterns and we love the fact that we can take it swimming with us when we go for those late night dips."

"After going through two hurricanes in Florida the importance of emergency lighting took on a whole new meaning. The BeaconBuoy is absolutely the best emergency light available. It gives you six hours of continuous use and is completely cordless and rechargeable."
