Thank you! Time well spent watching this video. For emergencies, we have LOTS of candles. After seeing this, I can see an oil lantern in our near future. Well done!
Thanks for the presentation - went through a phase where I built 12 volt LED bulb based lamps even converted an oil based lamp to led powered by a 12 volt pack - some soldering was used to build the cable - can be temporarily located throughout the house. (this created a byproduct of a building 12 volt battery packs) LED lights for emergencies are a personal preference not a disagreement with these types of lamps.
Very good! I love the olive oil lamp. I have used them for reading but I am very, very careful with them because of my cats. I've always wanted a good quality lantern.
Hello, a very good presentation. One correction, your table lamp, with the hurricane globe would stay lit in a strong wind, as that is what they were designed for. The flame will flicker wildly, but not go out. Now if there was rain or heavy snow, then I wouldn't take it outside.
Great information…Most of us never think of the long term..especially in a national emergency… Days, weeks and even longer.. Remember some fuels will have some kind of smell..especially in close areas… Carbon dioxide..beware…
whatever happened to white fuel i have an old Coleman with the elements you tie on but haven't used it in years. That thing was bright but i remember using white fuel with it.
Used to live down in the Heat of Ohio in Cow Town most of my life and having to move to the EU about 18 years ago I would regularly visit your web site regularly and have a friend order my Aladdin mantle for my lamp, however in recent years your website has been blocked in the country I live in now. It’s a hassle to have to use a VPN to visit. What gives? I use paraffin oil in my Aladdin Lamp for the past 18 years and never have had an issue with the wick clogging, excessive smoking or excessive wick burning. It was the recommended fuel from a German company called Pellam which sells parts and supplies for Petromax and Aladdin lamps. Some day I need to order a spare chimney and several new mantles to keep as spares for the lamp. Are there any manual wringers currently in stock?
Hi, I am in the USA (Colorado) and have been collecting, buying, selling and refurbishing oil lamps for 40 years. Wicks gumming up is usually caused by those "pretty" colored oils. One of the fuels a lot of people use in the old lamps is actually a very pure paint thinner.
@@kristinebailey6554 I remember those quite well from the seventies! Not only did they contain colorants but also were scented with some weird stuff. Only thing I might run in my mantle lamp is a bit of citronella laced lamp oil. No issue with that mix.
Two problems with every lamp and lantern is the fact that wick adjusters are SHITTY. They do not grab well, become loose, and cannot be repaired. A problem with hurricane lanterns is that the fuel tanks WILL leak, and the cold draft tubes are NOT sealed sufficiently and WILL LEAK if even slightly overfilled. Dang near most hurricane lanterns are not rust proof. For the rust proof ones (solid brass soldered or stainless steel) they demand a small fortune to buy them. Haven't seen a dual wick lantern either. NONE come with forever wicks. Not a single one. Almost none come with carrying handles with built in reflectors. Table or Hurricane. For the extra $1 for that wick, it is well worth it. Rarely will you find any that you fill once a week for 10 hour use daily. Probably none make them. Rarely if ever will they include a stinking funnel so you can refill easily. Those cost an extra $1 too. . On the plus side you can get colored lenses. I did notice that the taller the chimney is on a table lamp the brighter it seems to get.
@@crazysquirrel9425 I have seen that issue with the small votive oil lamps used in the cemeteries here in Europe. Very cheap chinesium junk. I do wish we had some decent manufacturers for those oil lamps in the USA. The Original Deitz lanterns were very high quality in the past. Yes there was an issue with the fonts rusting out over time but if one took good care of their lanterns they would last a lifetime. There are some gasoline can sealants out there that seal up old jerrycans but I have no idea if the can stand up to the various lamp fuels out there. They might be a good option for sealing the fonts of a new lantern. If the machinery cannot properly roll seal the base of the font it will leak. The seal must be on par with the seals on canned foods. As for the air leaks on the draft tubes a good high temperature silicone sealant might help but use sparingly.
@@Subgunman If made in the USA, the price would be 5-10 times higher due to GREED. Best if they both rolled and brazed/welded brass or stainless steel. My biggest problem is the wick adjusters. Dang things NEVER hold up.

Loud music "noise" in the background is truly annoying. I had to stop the video about 27 seconds in. I'm sure it would have been a great video, but I can't take the noisy irritation.
You may just be one of those types of people that become fixated on an outside stimulus and can't focus on the topic. I'm not saying that in a demeaning way, but that's the way some folks are wired. I hardly noticed the music until I saw your comment.
@@manandatractor Maybe some people are fixated with obscuring truth because it makes them uncomfortable. I'm not saying that in a demeaning way, but that's the way some folks are wired. I hardly noticed what was being said because of the music noise.
@@bluenetmarketingyou’re one of those people who pop off over a perceived minor inconvenience. Background music is extremely common in videos and I didn’t even notice the music until I read your comment. Shut your mouth
If your wife was smelling fumes, you were using cheap fuel. There is nothing unsafe about oil lamps when you use the correct fuel and correct chimney to control the draft through the burner unit.
Kerosene are not available every where and expensive. So you mention all the rare fuel types but the most common type , diesel, a close relative to kero, you said nothing. For that I gave the video a fail .
@@clroger4 The other option is if you live near a fair sized airport, with Jet A available, you can use it like kerosene. Modern diesel aircraft engines use Jet A.
If I become president of the united states I will ask you to be on my cabinet just because of you communications skills
What an awesome compliment! And I second the sentiment!
Great explanation. Thanks! 😀
I know this sweet and bright woman. Love you sis❤🥰
You did a great job with this video👍🏻
Need to show how to clean and maintain both lanterns and lamps.
Can you please....?
Bought an Aladin lamp from you guys years ago and it's still burning brightly !!!!
Great information. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the technical information about each Lamp Model. Your information was clear and easy to understand. Enjoyed this informative video.

Thank You For The Information. This Was Very Interesting!!!
Like that olive oil lamp, nice for cozy dinner or chat over glass of wine.
The Egyptians loved them too.
Would have liked to see more information on the Aladin lap.
You can use the lantern inside for emergency lighting

Thank you. Is there a longer version shoing the Aladdin lamp and its brightness.

Fabulous video! Thank you so much! 🤗
I want the Aladdin there! What is the model!?
Thank you!
TY very informative ! sub'd long ago & learn alot fm every video ;)
Well done!
How do you clean out the old oil? I just purchased 4 lamps( used)?
would like to know if you can still use the outdoor lanterns indoors if you have cats --Thanks!
Can you tell me what is the brand and model of the silver color lantern in the video.
Thanks!
whatever happened to white fuel i have an old Coleman with the elements you tie on but haven't used it in years. That thing was bright but i remember using white fuel with it.
Can anyone tell me if the chimneys on the lamps are necessary? Could one use one as a candle or is there a function to the glass chimney?
Shoe how to trim the wick.
Great explanations.
From Colombia, tks for sharing, Clear and easy
Is Kleanheat a safe option of oil to use indoors?
I use it all the time with my aladdin lamps indoors barely any odor and hot.
Where can I get KleenHeat?

Will you be carrying the new LED model of the Feuerhand 276 lantern?
Hi there! We will be carrying the new Feuerhand LED lamp in early 2024.
Well done! Very informative❤. Kind regards, Jonas Gothenburg Sweden.
Welcome Jonas.
New subscriber here! 😃👋
enjoyed the video but thought I had tinnitus during the video due to low level hum in the background
No links???
yeah, I found that strange as well. How do you square having an on-line presence without providing a link?
I think if we can live off grid and run homesteads then we can handle plumbing a gas lamp
Wish that people would QUIT changing the CAMERA ANGLES!
How about an address and phone number ?

Battery powered LED lights would be cheaper, brighter and safer, no fuel needed. My wife doesn't like the smell of kerosene or gas lanterns.
If your wife was smelling fumes, you were using cheap fuel. There is nothing unsafe about oil lamps when you use the correct fuel and correct chimney to control the draft through the burner unit.
Batteries eventually die.
