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

I just got these about 2 days ago and went camping in my woods and they worked great all night And kept everything lit up. There was no oil leaks. They looks great. The size doesn’t bother me. Overall I give it a 5 star.

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!

Works well enough, its fairly wind resistant, it'll blow over before the fire goes out with a leaf blower.

Nice little lamp. Just need to find fuel. First time I'd set it inside an old cake pan to catch any fuel that might escape or dribble down the side after filling. Big enough to put out a little heat as well as light. I didn't find any directions inside the box but was able to finally figure out how it worked and how to light it. Everything was stiff being new. Th old original railroad lamps were a lot heavier.

I love mine works very well and it looks really cool Clean burn is a 8-10 Light is a 7.5-10 Useful is 10-10 Reliable 10-10

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.

Well made lamp great for when lights go out I sit it our side sliding door and it lights living room up works awesome.

Number one, it is NOT large. More of a junior size. That said, due to a recent power outage, and not wanting to run down batteries on my emergency lights that are positioned around the house I broke out these. I had bought two. While I have some glass hurricane lamps for emergency use, I don't like walking around with them, so thought these would be good for that. They only sort of are. I discovered upon putting lamp oil in them that you absolutely must NOT fill above the indicated line or you will have lamp oil seeping out the poorly welded seams where the side supports meet the base, which means they don't hold a heck of a lot of lamp oil. It also means you must be careful when walking with them that you don't let it slosh much in the base. Because of that, they're better used as stationary emergency lighting, which they accomplish just fine. The mechanism to lift the glass portion in order to light the wick works just fine and they provide sufficient light. Just don't expect to use them for anything else because they aren't rugged enough.

Wow

Well made and works as it should!

Muito bom. Pratico e decorativo

I've just got the thing and got fuel/wicks for it today. Works very well with kerosene from my tests. I've read many reviews about how this thing is flimsy and it leaks over time. I knew this going in and was prepared to seal up the cracks and fix it myself, but I have been pleasantly surprised so far. I filled the base to the fill line with Kerosene, and shook it around a bit after the wick had time to soak, but lot a drop leaked out of it. It also seems fairly tough and rigid. Now, it's definitely not SOLID metal, but it still seems to be well made, and feels fairly tough. I've also read reviews about the wick guide being of poor quality, but again, it seems fine just for me. Seems easy enough to use. I'll update my review if anything negative happens, but for a $22 lantern, you really can't ask for more. I'm loving this thing so far. Incredible.
