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

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.

The media could not be loaded. Theyre quite flimsy and not built too precisely but the imperfections are simple enough to easily work around. Overall the lamps function as advertised.Left them on trays for two days just in case but there has been no leaking.The base more or less filled to the fill line with 2/3 of a cup of lamp oil. I used LAMPLIGHTs paraffin lamp oil that i bought at Hobby Lobby and it seems to work fine. Make sure that there is a rubber gasket at the fill hole or else there will be no seal. Also make sure to screw the cap real tight to reenforce the seal.And they are quite luminous, the bird seems to think so too. Will most likely buy another pack of two.

From delivery to setup to use all in under 5 minutes. Read the instructions on how to properly fill the tank (too much and it seeps out). Have used this lantern numerous times and it serves its purpose well and depending when your light the lamp it transitions well from dusk to night giving off just that right amount of illumination. Last thing to remember, the wick does not last forever so get a back up spool. As this generates a flame, would not recommend using this during a power outage unless there is an adult present.

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!

I absolutely love them! They are great quality for the price and I have had no issues like leakage! It is bright and it’s size is just right to be stored well but still give off plenty of light and heat!

Items going back, oil just drips from the bottom, I put it on a plate and the lantern war swimming in about 5 minutes. Don't waste your money!! This this isn't worth 5 dollars let alone 20.

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.

Works well, but will spill fuel if on its side.
