Primus EasyLight Lantern

Wonderful little Lantern. I had to replace my old Camping Gaz lantern because I could no longer buy the canisters it took. Everything has gone to the 7/16” threaded canister. This is slightly smaller in size but lit up super easy with the igniter and the flame was easily adjusted. The box has a bit of padding in it to help keep jostling to a minimum which in turn helps the mantle from breaking. Overall very good. Just hated to replace a good thing because they won’t sell the gas with the EZ Clip here in the states anymore.

I purchased this as an upgrade/supplement to an older Coleman white gas lantern, seeing I recently purchased a an MSR Pocket Rocket stove it can use the same fuel canisters. It’s a really bright, easy to use and set-up lantern. I would definitely recommend watching the video on YouTube about how to install the mantle. It’s a bit different from the one’s I’ve used in the past. It s really easy to use and light, no more matches! It comes with a hard plastic case, so you also keep a couple extra mantles in it as well. Can’t wait to use it in the field, so far it looks like a good purchase.

I never thought I would write atleast in my life time that a lantern other than a Coleman would be an awsome, great value and has the ruggedness of a Coleman white gas lantern but this lantern is every bit as well made and effective. I'm not a hiker but just an advid camper and I will have no problem taking this little guy with me everytime.

Love the size of the light it is very adjustable from 60 W to a night light comes with a hard case arrived fast frosted globe put out a nice even light only thing I'm unsure of is a 1/8 " blue flame on the very top of the gas tube where the two metal's meet not sure if that is normal as I've used Coleman liquid fuel pump up lanterns in the past

Great camp lantern. I am not a hugh fan of LED camp lanterns. There is something about the glow from a natural light lantern that makes a camp just feel right. The overall package is small and the case it comes in does a great job, fits well into a pack or my chuck box. It is easy to get up and operates surprisingly quiet. I have been using it with cartridges that are too low to run in the stove, even with this I get a weekends use of just the "dregs" of a cartridge. The wire to hang it up is handy and works well but I wish there was a better way to stow it.

It’s a great lantern. If you like backpacking with just a extra weight then it’s perfect I mean it’s not as small as a LED but it sure is a lot more comforting than LED. I live in a very cold part of the world so when I’m backpacking and I want to heat up I use it to give me a little bit of extra warmth during the cold months but yeah great product it just takes up a bit of room but wouldn’t buy any other lantern.

Great lantern. Puts out a soft even light, where most are overpowering, blinding campers on other sites. Not the brightest, but few can match the weight and portability of this unit. The fuel choices are better too, especially if you already pack iso-butane powered stoves(jet-boil). Not to mention the recycling benefits of these canisters vs. Coleman green bottles.

Love this light. I am very pleased. It handles wind and rain very well and puts out really nice light. Just bought another. Not inexpensive but well worth it

Very happy with what i ordered but had a little trouble with the mantle supplyed,as in it broke trying to put it on,i have now had to order some spare mantles and have not yet lit it,I would recommend watching the you tube clips before fitting the mantle,i was still a little unsure after reading the intructions.looking forward to them arriving.

This lantern is great! Really impressed. Lights first time, every time and is as bright as you would ever need. The case is great too and mantle fitting very easy.

Nüchtern betrachtet ist die Zeit der Gaslampen wohl vorüber. Gerade beim Wanderurlaub, wo es auf jedes Gramm ankommt, schlagen batteriebetriebene LEDs Gaslaternen um Längen - insbesondere in Fragen des Gewichts, Haltbarkeit und Preis. Dennoch habe ich mich wie ein kleines Kind über diese Lampe gefreut, weil sie ein Stück weit Entschleunigung bedeutet und durch ihre nostalgische Technologie zudem überaus romantisch wirkt.Die Lampe kommt äußerst kompakt daher. Beim ersten Gebrauch muss das Aufziehen des Glühstrumpfes erst einmal geübt werden, fällt aber danach nicht mehr schwer. Das sandgestrahlte Glas wirkt hochwertig und gibt dem Licht einen weichen Touch. Der beiliegende Draht zum Transportieren ist minimalistisch gehalten, doch überaus hilfreich. Eine Schraubkartusche ist in Dtl. schnell aufgetrieben und schon kann's los gehen.Der erste Eindruck ist genau wie erwartet. Nicht nur, dass die Lampe ein Farbspektrum bildet, das LED-Lampen schlicht nicht aufbringen können. Zudem ist die Lampe auf höchster Stufe deutlich heller, als ich erwartet hätte. Ich glaube nicht, dass es viele LED-Lampen gibt die solch eine Helligkeit in einem gleichmäßigen 360° Radius aufbringen können. Das leise zischende Gas hat außerdem zumindest auf mich auch einen beruhigenden Einfluss. Überaus nützlich ist auch der Piezo-Zünder, der das Entzünden der Lampe unkompliziert und sicher gestaltet. Die praktische und äußerst robuste Aufbewahrungsbox aus Kunststoff schützt die Lampe beim Transport. Das Gasventil ermöglicht eine sehr feine Justierung, um das Licht stufenlos zu dimmen. Beim Gebrauch im Zelt (hier ist äußerste Vorsicht geboten!!!) staut sich zudem die Abwärme der Lampe und erhöht so die Innentemperatur...so kann man aus dem eigentlichen Nachteil, der Ineffizienz von Gas als Leuchtmittel, noch einen Vorteil ziehen. Den Verbrauch der Lampe abzuschätzen ist denkbar schwer, da von vielen Faktoren abhängig. Basierend auf meinen bisherigen Erfahrungen glaube ich, dass bei einer 400g-Kartusche eine Leuchtzeit von ca. 15 Stunden realistisch ist - abhängig von Außentemperatur, Helligkeit, etc.Negativ ist zu erwähnen, dass die Lampe, gerade in Zeltnähe, höchste Wachsamkeit erfordert. Auch sollte man immer einen weiteren Glühstrumpf dabei haben, da diese nur eine sehr begrenzte Haltbarkeit bei nicht geringem Preis haben - aber das sollte es einem dann auch noch wert sein.Fazit: Die Lampe ist nicht perfekt, doch dies ist eher der Technologie als dem Produkt geschuldet und da ich mich beim Entzünden jedes mal wieder wie beim ersten mal fühle, bekommt sie von mir fünf Sterne. Die Lampe hat mich bereits über die Karpaten und Korsika begleitet und kommt definitiv auch im nächsten Jahr wieder mit.

Ottima lampada. Volevo fare presente che questo tipo di lampada ha la connessione con la cartuccia 7/16 quindi si avvita. Non era specificato nella descrizione per chi leggesse la recensione non adatta per cartuccia campingaz con innesto a scatto. Come gia detto la lampada usa pochissimo gas e fa tantissma luce usando mantelli originali taglia s marca primus. La sua specialità rimane un rumore che quasi non si sente quando eroga gas. Piccola nota negativa vetro esposto bisogna fare attenzione a scottature o urto del vetro, ma del resto se c'era una protezione andava a discapito del design. Mi piace tantissimo lo stile retrò. Adesso ne ho 2 ne comprerò sicuramente degli altri modelli.. la consiglio solo a chi ama questo genere di lampada.

So I wasn't going into this expecting much out of such a small isobutane powered lantern; however, this little guy blew my mind! It certainly won’t give you light to easily read a small print book by or anything like that, but it does give a great ambience to your camp and will make it easier to see things. It warmed up my tent for a while when I had it in there, adding a bonus feature to it. Furthermore, it doesn't go through much fuel at all, I ran it for about 11 hours and didn't even use an entire 450g isobutane canister. I bought it for lightweight camping; however, I think it will end up living in my Jeep with a spare can of fuel as an emergency light/heater for a ISHTF situation. Certainly not cheap but an outright awesome piece of kit. No, it will not replace my trusty Coleman 286, but it has definitely won me over and found a new home and purpose I never thought of, and if you are backpacking this is definitely a solid option unless you want to invest in quality LiPo powered LED lights.
