Ebay candle lantern. Oil adaptor?

[anthonyyy]

I just found this for 9 euros:

A paraffin adaptor "in the shape and size of the UCO candle".
Do you think this would fit the candle lantern many of us bought recently on Ebay?

If you contact them and find out the dimensions, then you'd know. It looks like it would, though.

Nice find,

Jake.

I have sent them (Zoelser) emails queries in the past and they never replied. And in German too I might add.
Thay have some bloody good stuff though, much of it designed and built inhouse.

Oh. Perhaps their spam guard filtered it?

I always make it a point of principle never to buy anything from a company that dosn't reply to e-mail enquiries... ah well, that looked like a great but of kit as well.

I don't know whether it'd fit or not, but why would you want it to anyway?
The candles last for 9 hours *each*; that's a lot of parafin refills.
The candles go out if the lantern is toppled.
Parafin leaks, smells and smokes.

I don't mean to sound so dismissive but unless parafin is used under pressure and with a mantle I think you'd be better using the candle.
I'm open to being better informed though

Cheers,
Toddy

It's supposed to be good for 8 hours on a refill. I figure it may be specific to the UCO lantern though as it replaces the candle and holder in the lantern.

p.s it is depressing that I am not the only person who has nothing better to do on a friday night.

I'm sitting sewing a set of Medieval braies, reading an on-line novel, blethering to HWMBLT, sipping chilled Elderflower wine, listening to the swallows outside the windows and nipping in and out of the forum.....it's a quiet, chilled out evening

Young lady I was getting at you. I was merely thinking that hitting ones thumb with a hammer may be an unpleasant experience; but that the image of the entire population of the globe suffering the same fate instantaneously would be an appalling vista.

True, true
Nice imagery too

I'll ask: what is a medieval braies?

 

[Toddy]

linen drawers; medieval knights for the use of
There are a few folk on the forum whose authenticy starts from the skin out
This sort of idea, (except I made pipe braies)
