Lamplight Large Paraffin Oil Indoor Lamp, Hurricane Lamp, Emergency Kit, 52664 Farmer’s Lantern Indoor Oil Lamp, Black, Original

So, I've gone down a bit of an oil lantern rabbit hole. Recently bought a Dietz Air Pilot and have been impressed. Thought I would take a chance on this Lamplight for twelve bucks. Well much smaller in size in capacity, the brightness is really not much less. I'm just using Walmart lamp oil right now. I'll compare kerosene next time.The build quality seems about the same. No leaking from either. I actually kinda like the globe lift mechanism better on the Lamplight.I kinda wish I had bought two of the Lamplights rather than the Dietz, but whatever. I guess my thought process is that two slightly-less-bright lanterns with more evenly light a room, if needed. One would suffice during an emergency, however.

Great Value! I purchased a pair of these lantern's the other day to modify and mount near my homes entry way on the front porch. I took out the wick, drilled a hole though the fuel tank and wired in a G4 LED socket where the wick used to be. Then I installed a G4 compatible 150 lumen 12 volt LED bulb. I then connected the wires to my low voltage landscape lighting system. Now these lamps go on at dusk and off at dawn. I no longer use the wall light next to the door. I'll put up pics or video after I get them hung in place. This is exactly what I was looking for to get this project done. Exactly as advertised. 5 Stars to these lights.

Care should be exercised with the wick holder ......make sure that it is turned, as far as it will go. Otherwise, fuel will seep out around it and down the bowl.

This little lamp is worth the money by far. It's cool and well made

Seems to me an excellent choice for a mini - hurricane oil lamp!After opening package and inspection, followed use directions, trimmed wick, (just a few strands so to be a tight woven ribbon cotton wick), filled to line, lit the oil soaked wick and has been burning through late afternoon, and is over night now 12+ hours later, ...still lighting the area same as when I first lit this lamp!Seemed a bit flimsy, when taken our of its box, but I've no complaints, the stainless steel heavy gage wire handle is excellent to keep one's fingers from being burnt, (gets very hot, as one would expect, so caution!), yet when handle is in its down unused position, is totally out of the way!BTW, in this first use test, after lighting it then carried around a bit, 0laced onto my wood stove, (safety first!), while lit, at 5pm (ish), now 5:50am, still burning as when I first lit this inexpensive hurricane oil lamp..No idea, as to why it's referred to as a farmer's lamp, but this I do know, for being a seemingly cheap emergency light source that produces a bright enough flame to get around in the dark of night, with its efficiency costs of long burning oil, (paraffin in this case, but in emergency cases, could most likely burn lessee fuels, kerosene, diesel, perhaps but with a larger amount of smoke, not usable indoors, I think it would burn vegetable oil, even engine light weight oils...I don't typically go overboard in reviews, but for the price, it's just as good as a much more expensive oil lamp, return on investment, ...no doubt, you'll get what you paid for, as well as an very efficient way of having stand-by emergency lighting, or just plain saving yourself batteries costs, as a regular light source.. "with reasonable care", I'd conclude at this point, the versatility of this lamp and regular daily use, ...will be serviceable for many decades!However, all that said in my humble opinion, this us old school, centuries of history in designed use, is not something a child of young age should be handed, until after being taught for at least a reasonable amount of time how to safely use responsibly, if at some age appropriate that has shown consistently as a responsible young person, say 11 - 14 yrs age!parental responsible care should be in place for children's sake and safety, and the child's able use.. it gets very hot, and is a burning flame that can start very easily, a house fire, barn, garage, forestfire, etc., please, comprehend it's not a flashlight!***Responsible use: IS A REQUIREMENT!****No offense to those who are responsible!Just redundancy!Be safe, and God Almighty, bless you and yours!

NOT GOOD! CUTE BUT LOOSE CONNECTION ON WHEN YOU TWIST THE WICK UP AND THEN WHEN YOU ADJUST IT DOWN IT GOES BACK UP AND ALOT! FILLING IT IS A NIGHTMARE YOUR GONNA GET FLUID ALL OVER THE PLACE AND YOURSELF. VERY DANGEROUS!

I purchased the two pack of these lanterns. They work and do not leak as long as you do not overfill it and do not slosh the base around while walking it to a rest spot. Any hurricane lantern can leak through the air venting armatures if you jostle it around too much as the side arms are not welded to the reservoir base. I wouldn't trust my Dietz or Feuerhand lanterns in such a roughly handled manner either but I am sure their are even less prone to leaking but still can leak if encouraged to do so.The reason I dropped this rating to 3 stars is because the build for the armature used to lift the glass is not solid. Because of this, the lift mechanism causes the alignment to get out of whack and causes the lamp to get stuck when lowering the glass back down after ignition of the wick. This causes a little trouble as you need to persuade the alignment by hand to re-affix the glass back to the wick base, quick enough not to burn yourself as the glass begins to heat up. Not the end of the world but it is annoying. I can't fix the issue as the build is not solid enough to stay adjusted to fit right since the armature's adjustment bracket, used to lift the glass, is merely just pressed into groove slots along the side of one of the lanterns venting arms. A loose fit that will easily knock out of alignment regularly.It's such a cheap lamp. Not made in the USA either. That's a lie. It clearly says it is made in China. So...You get a working lamp that needs to be used cautiously but effectively in an emergency. I have many good quality lanterns so I just have these two kept as decorative yet ready to serve an emergency if needed. They just won't be one of the first lanterns I grab, but rather the last.

This is a nice lamp for when the power goes out. Not too big and can carry it easily.
