Red Hurricane Kerosene Oil Lantern Emergency Hanging Light / Lamp - 12 Inches (2)

This is a cute little lantern, nicely suited for decorative purposes, but works well. I loaded it up with oil and lit nicely with a bright glow. It looks like it will be a challenge to insert a new wick, so hopefully the wick supplied will last a long time.

All i have to say is, i now have 7-8 around my campsite. They don't leak, and they don't explode. This makes me happy. Thank you for making a quality lamp almost as good as Dietz!

They work and look good. Not heavy duty lamps. Cheaply made. I bought them as backup to power losses in my area. The best lamps are made of solid brass and cost 2 or 3 times more.

easy to use.

Arrived undamaged and quickly. These are full sized large lanterns. Metal with the color overlay, I saw a review for another color noting it was plastic. The lantern is NOT plastic. That’s ridiculous.The wick is 1/2 inch wide. The lever to lift the glass housing is easy to operate and the wick comes up and down smoothly using the little turning knob. Very pleased with this lantern. I ordered the 4 pack of the antique bronze color as well after receiving the 2 pack of the red ones.If you’re looking for a good lantern that doesn’t cost something like $60 for just one, this is a good buy. I’ve used both the red ones I got to test them out, no problems.

The item looks nice and was very excited to use them on camping trip. When the oil arrived i filled them both up the night before and when I went to pack them the next morning, the oil had leaked out of both of them. Why would you sell an oil lamp that does not hold the oil? Now I have to purchase more from someone else and pray they do not leak.

These are beautiful. I gave some to my sisters and my friend. They loved them. My girlfriend was having her get together and her power went out and she got to show off her beautiful lantern.

So it is cheaply made and comes with warnings of what type of kerosene to use? Most kerosene sellers don't even list the flash point which these warn the user not to use unless it is listed and not above 150 degrees etc. Some warning before purchase would be nice since most kerosene is very similar if not the same. Kerosene lamps are purchased by many who want to avoid explosive fuels to begin with. Mine will probably only be used outdoors since I don't trust them or the manufacturers for any kind of indoor use. Leaking is usually from overfilling and I have noticed this on several of my lamps including some older brass lanterns.
