The guns are all deacs so no one have a cow. m,issing from the pic is a pld aluminium fold out Uco lantern which takes them overpriced fat candles. I much prefer the red one in the second pic as it takes bog standard candles. Also missing is a standard camping gaz job thats hanging just above where I cropped the first pic. I need to find a minty chimney for the Aladin No. 21 before I buy a new mantle for it, Im too cheap to buy one full whack. It only cost me a fiver (I believe the mantles are 8 now and the chimneys 20 plus? Im in no desperate hurry

far right on the lower pic are a group of replica oil lamps, a bit smokey but will burn any suitable oil. It really helps to seal the insides of the pottery ones with beeswax. The soap stone one i made from a cheep charity shop trinkets pot, the lids going to end up as a drop spindle weight one of these days. The lead lamp drip tray I made from some roofers lead sheet, beaten over a quickly made wooden block and then the edges trimmed.

Yeah, none of them cost more than £7.50 from a charity shop or carboot, the spare chimney is for another thats just waiting for me to solder the base back to the tank, polish and renaisance wax. I bought a roll of the wick, I forget the exact size, which will last me forever. The give a nice mellow light. Smells not as bad as they say and we are habitual window open types anyway.

Finally found the box for my bigger Northern Lights lantern (see post #1) and it's called the "Ultralight". This enabled me to find this nice wee review of it's cooking capabilities and a photo of the cooking ring as mine are packed away in the depths of the attic. LINK

Some lovely lanterns there Mike, get the feeling that like me, when there's a power cut your house is better lit and heated than normal? I've had nsighbours in the village ask me where I keep the generator!
