What ever happened to the versions with the lights? I liked those better.

I have the same question. Looks like the lights are gone with out notice. In fact I thought it's not working since there to light, but looks OK afterwards. What is disturbing is that as an owner of old model I was not aware of the missing lights...

I'm sorry. I returned both lights that I ordered. I was unhappy with quality.

I just ordered one last week and got the newer 385 Lumen one. I guess they sold all the old ones.

I think this product has been redesigned since the model you have. If your product has a light it's the earlier model. They redesigned and cheapened it but retained the same model number. Unethical? Amazon should remove all reviews from before the unit was redesigned.

Yes & no. They are a series, so, if 1 goes out so does the rest of them in that series, but, there is more than 1 series, there are either 2 or 3. I had a complete section (series) of mine go out, but the ones that weren't on that particular series still worked for awhile. They have since all gone out. Without the lights, they are still very pretty, but, with the lights they are really cool. I wish they sold replacements. Hope this helps. Cheers!!

Hi Kayla, I'm sorry, but Coleman only makes this in white light for now. Perhaps in the future? Thanks for your interest. Frank Calli Books

Custom lights are in between light and extra light..... For me, they're just right... Extra lights sacrifice too much tone, but I need something pretty light for finger-picking....

I am going through my second 40XBR4. The first had what seemed like flashlights shining diagonally from the upper left and right corners in dark scenes. I exchanged it for a second one and it sucks as well. I think the second one is going to be returned pretty soon as well and no more Sony for me.

I like the newer version better. It's more interesting and somehow simpler than the previous version. i do understand how expecting one thing & getting another is disappointing.

The look a lot better and distribute light better. I gave up on LED replacements for PAR bulbs.

The only difference is the LIGHTS. This version has regular LED lights. The other version has 3D lights which is more attractive.

The lights have been moved to the front - the older model had the lights in the back. Thanks!

They are about the same brightness, but I think they are a more white color of light. The original lights seemed to have a slight yellow tint. I like the color better, the best thing is that they stay cool to the touch and draw much less power.

I did. The new lights kind of mount crooked in the OEM mounts. They fit straight in the new ones.

They make an LED version, but I don't think you can replace the CFLs that come with it.

No they haven't been for me. In a bright room the lights are not really noticed.
