This lantern provides reliable, long-duration, non-electric area lighting for emergency, camping, or off-grid situations. Its simple, fuel-based design makes it a dependable backup light source when batteries or power grids fail.

Field Application Steps

  1. Fill reservoir to 80% with approved kerosene or lamp oil and let new wick saturate for 20 minutes.
  2. Raise the globe, ignite the wick with a long-stemmed lighter, then carefully lower the globe.
  3. Use the control knob to adjust the flame to a steady, 1-inch height with no smoke.
  4. Place or hang on a stable, non-combustible surface with a minimum 36-inch clearance from all materials.
  5. To extinguish, turn the wick down fully into the burner until the flame goes out.
