Just got power back on after 8 days without thanks to Hurricane Helene, and I'm more sold on oil lamps than ever before. I prefer Feuerhand hurricane lanterns since they are the last maker still operating in Western Civilization. Got a Feuerhand 280 burning right now as I type this! When I was without electricity for all those days, the one thing I found was that having oil lamps brought a tremendous sense of peace of mind. When everyone else was scrambling to find batteries or praying the sun would come out so they could charge their solar stuff.... I had plenty of light and didn't have to wade into the mess that was town, dealing with the masses of people hunting for supplies. I've got some run-of-the-mill oil lamps, but my Feuerhand lanterns are the real show-stoppers. Sadly, the company only makes the small #276 model these days. I hope if more people support them they will be able to reintroduce their other models. Until then, you have to hunt through flea markets and antique shops to find the bigger Feuerhand lanterns. It's worth it, though, and they are orders of magnitude better than anything coming out of china. Honestly I think one of the biggest reasons that oil lamps aren't seen in a favorable light these days is because of all the cheap chintz being made in chicom territories. The low quality and high risk of leaks just give folks a bad impression and they're far less likely to invest in a 'vintage' Embury or Chalwyn lantern, and certainly not going to spend the big money to get a Feuerhand. Me? I wouldn't ever be without a good collection of hurricane lanterns. They are worth their weight in gold.

Thank you so much for this video. I was surprised about this difference in wicks, but also I’ve come across a couple of centre drafts with no glass. I could have bought them literally for a few bucks, but didn’t because I thought the glass would be impossible to find…..won’t happen again! Best video for lamps, despite the sound issues.

I notice black smoke when flame is too high or too low? What is the secret for not rendering black smoke? Just let it run for 20 mins outside and bring it in? Sweet spot appears to be fire 1/2 inch below top of ring
@greghall_The_TechEditor Ай бұрын
Sounds like your wick has burnt uneven. With a level wick, the flame can be 1/2" above the top ring for maximum heat w/o smoke. When cold, a wick kerosene heater smokes but should clear up shortly when the flame propagates all around the wick.

If it is pure brass and not plated, they can be cleaned up by mixing equal parts lemon juice and baking soda to form a paste. Leave for 5-10 minutes before wiping away with a damp cloth.

While I have no direct information on them because I don't own any, generally the wider the wick, the more light. Now if you have the model that has a flame spreader, the light will be much brighter and whiter than a traditional flat wick lamp.

Could you avoid this constant power draw by connecting the wire to the stock horn wires?
@greghall_The_TechEditor 5 ай бұрын
Not enough power on that line. It has to be connected to a switched power lead like I did at the fuse panel under the steering column. UPDATE: my original unit failed after 1.5 yrs. Mine was the early model with the Yellow horn actuation wire with the internal relay. When reordering the original part # again, I received the electronics box that does not have the yellow horn actuation wire. You have to now install a relay to get the unit to activate by the horn button per Lamphus. Did that and it now works again.
@gatermap 4 ай бұрын
Good info. I just received the newer version without the yellow wire and was confused because both models have the same #. So I wasnt sure what was going on. Looking at the instruction sheet now makes sense vs looking at the old yellow wire model schematics online. But installing my own relay sounds like a plan either way. Thanks for the video.

I couldn't tell you who made the glass bases, no makers mark. Most likely the lamp makers sourced the glass from an outside glass firm. I picked one style of wall hung glass base (because there are many styles) and then started collecting that style only for all my wall hung lamps for visual continuity. Same for the cast iron wall mounts too.

@greghall_The_TechEditor 7 ай бұрын
Cooking oil is too viscous to work well in a wick lamp. The capillary action would be too slow for much light. Liquid paraffin oil works fair but not as bright as Kerosene as long as it is not too cold or the paraffin oil will solidify into Vaseline! Plus cooking oil likes to smoke way more than Kerosene. In my opinion, a Kerosene flat wick lamp works best with Kerosene, not Diesel, Paraffin, or cooking oil.

You should have read the MANUAL. First of all, the Vent need to be replaced with a new Heater. Second, you do not need the Fire Matic Valve. The 300 Series has this Safety Device built in the Fuel Sump. But not bad for the price and no Warranty.
@greghall_The_TechEditor 9 ай бұрын
I did not receive a 300 manual with the heater. I looked in the 301/302 manual and the exploded diagram does not show an internal fire valve nor is it listed in the safety items on page 3. Plus on page 32 it states:"NOTE: An additional shut-off valve installed next to the heater will minimize fuel to be drained should the heater have to be disconnected. If the valve is on interior side, a fusible link type is recommended." Therefor I stand by my installation as correct. The exhaust vent for the 300 series is the same as the 30. According to here: www.ruralenergy.com/20479891-toyotomi-flue-pipe-4-to-9-all-models, it fits all models of Laser heaters. Rotating the unit provides customization during installation. Therefor replacing a serviceable exhaust with the exact same model is foolish. These exhausts are designed for decades of service.
