Fun for camping
This is a good size lantern. It burns bright, we use it just hanging out outside. When we use it inside even the odorless lamp oil stinks some. But overall it’s sturdy and had a great look to it.

Good value for the money
I’m really happy with the quality vs. value of these lanterns. They have a couple of minor issues but all in all I ended up with some really nice functional lanterns for less than ten bucks each and that’s pretty hard to beat. I ordered four total lanterns and was happy that they all arrived intact with no dents or shipping related injuries. They were well packaged, each in an individual box with bubble wrap and air pillows and then those individual boxes in a larger box with air pillows.The overall build quality is fairly poor, as you’d expect for a product of this price point. The metal is thin, the quality of the paint and application of it are pretty poor. They painted the whole wick burner mechanism which I found kind of odd… most lanterns I’ve seen leave that unpainted but it didn’t seem to hurt anything when I used them. But all in all the ones I got would be perfectly functional right out of the box even though I chose to make minor modifications.I took each one apart, removing the globe and wick mechanism, and filled them about half full to let them set a day and check for leaks of the fount (reservoir). None of the 4 lanterns I received leaked at the bottom seams, as it seems many people have issues with in their reviews. Given that it seems to be a common problem though, after the day of leak testing I drained mine cleaned them out with acetone, and lined the tanks of each of mine with paint. I happened to have some special paint (Masterseries silver primer actually) used for the purpose of lining gas tanks left over from restoring an old VW Beetle tank (a hobby of mine). Yeah, that’s kind of a drag to feel motivated to “fix” a brand new product but again for as cheap as they are I didn’t mind lining the tanks with some leftover tank liner that I didn’t really have earmarked for anything else just to make sure I didn’t ever have to worry about the seams leaking. I also decided to attach the filler cap to the lantern using some light weight decorative chain… because otherwise I’m pretty sure I’d set it down while filling it up and never see the thing again!After giving that a couple of days to fully cure I filled them up… a tip here is that mine seemed to hold about 1 cup of oil (kero) at the fill line so I measured 6 ounces, about 3/4 cup, to fill them so I knew I wasn’t too close to the totally full point. I let them set for a couple hours as I did other stuff to let the wick soak up, and then came back and lit them up. They worked fine. I burned them for several hours in my garage and they didn’t really give off a significant smell even burning normal kerosene. With the wick adjusted properly they didn’t soot the globes and they just did what they are supposed to do. I think I’ll get one of those liquor or olive oil bottles with the little pouring spout to keep around for refilling them.The light output is not big. Light output seems to be most dependent on wick size. These have about a 1/2 wide wick which means around 5-7 “candlepower” at most, which is basically lumens. Normal household bulbs are usually measured in at least hundreds of lumens so we’re not talking about a lot of light here as compared to normal lighting. It’s enough to keep from stumbling around over stuff but I wouldn’t really want to read a book by it. That’s what I got them for though so it’s fine for my purposes. I figure I’ll use them for general “not bumping into stuff” lighting during any extended power outage and camping and then only fire up the pressurized (Coleman) lanterns or battery powered stuff if I’m actually doing something that warrants that much light.I’m trying to prepare for an extended power outage of a minimum of 2 weeks. I also have some candles, battery powered LED, and propane lanterns and lighting but redundancy is wise when preparing for emergencies (two is one and one is none is a common saying in that context). Kerosene is my fuel of choice for this because it’s inexpensive, easy to get, and stores well. These things were a small investment in money and time and now that I know they work and are ready if I ever need them they can just set out in the shed out of the way and out of mind until the power goes out or I want to bring them camping or something.

Education is important when using combustables
For YEARS..decades… these things were about 6 bucks at places like Walmart and hardware stores. That being said and over and done with; about 14-16 bucks is what you’ll pay now for this large size.It is not quite as generally sturdy as one you might have had back in the 70s or longer ago…but it is fully functional.Some people in reviews said they couldn’t get the paper instructions out. Full stop!!! If you don’t know how to get the paper out, you do NOT need to use one without A. someone who DOES know how to use it showing you B.watching a how to video. You are dealing with a potentially dangerous item so knowing how to operate it is extremely important.*There is a small ring type hook on top of the lantern. You pull UP on that with one hand while having your other hand gently on the globe cage so you can push it forward or back to get the paper out. You also need to know how to do that to be able to clean the globe AFTER the lantern is perfectly cool to the touch. Any black soot should be cleaned regularly. Do NOT do it while lantern is hot or even warm. Do NOT lean the lantern over. If none of that makes sense watch a video before doing it.Just because it exists doesn’t mean everyone should buy or use one.I highly recommend watching several videos on lanterns before you buy one if you have never owned one.This lantern is perfectly fine quality. The globe could be thicker but that’s all that is “wrong” with it quality wise. And if you handle it carefully and respectfully it will probably still be working after you are gone. Not a toy. Not a necessity. It is a helpful tool to use as much as you want or need to use it always making SURE to understand how to use it, maintain it, store it.You don’t have to be terrified of these lanterns but you certainly DO need to know the basics.Be safe and enjoy this fine product at a decent price.

It leaks and I really should have seen that coming
Some of the other reviews said it leaked. I figured it’s cheap, I’ll buy it anyway. Besides, the reviews for much more expensive lanterns say the expensive option leak too.It leaked.The base looks like it’s just firmly crimped on so of course it leaks. Maybe if you got it absolutely clean of oil and soldered the thing on properly then it would stop.The rest of the lamp is lightweight and a lamp. It lights. The design hasn’t changed much in 200 years, except now it leaks more. I would recommend it to people who collect unsafe, flawed, or inadvisable Amazon products.

Used it at the campsite. Easy to use, provides nice ambient light to intense bright light. Its a good size and looks nice. Almost antique like. Make sure it remains upright at all times or the lamp oil will spill out. Do not use indoors, as there are fumes that come out of the top.
