Northern Lights oil lamp

[plastic-ninja]

Hi all.
I’ve discovered a Northern Lights Ultralight oil lamp in the utility room & all looks great except no glass.
Is it still possible to get these glasses or does one of the UCO ones fit?
Not sure if I want to keep it yet but would be good to know if it can be made good again.
Cheers, Simon

it looks like you take out the Instruction card/paper and use the "container" as the glass.??

Nowhere near that easy I’m afraid. The container is just plastic. I remember it having a glass tube originally. Lot of years ago.

Cut the ends off a suitable size bottle?

I hadn't seen these before so had a quick Google and discovered this thread with a good picture of the glass.....

Show Us Your Lanterns. (the thread formerly known as: -Northern Lights Lanterns -UCO)

Well as discussed with Clouston98 (Cameron) here are some pics of my old Northern Lights Lanterns (before they became UCO). The Alpine has the Oil Insert as the candles could have spring problems in the severe cold. They could all take a simmer ring which you could rest your brass Sierra cups...

Labware or glass specialist perhaps?
Boroscillicate (heat resistant) glass tube is common in a variety diameters up to 85mm.

Have a word with the folks at Base Camp as they'll probably have something suitable
