Outstanding!! One favorite part was the Niagara Falls sound of adding fuel while watching quantity indicator approaching full. What an incredible lamp. Love to see this stacked up against modern automobile headlamp, I bet ye olde Tilley holds its own !!

Some sniff cocine, some sniff ladies bicycle seats. But to me you cannot beat the smell of vapourised paraffin. On a lighter note (pun intended) you will have to get a more authentic filler funnel .P.S. The technical name for a filler funnel is "Pissaphone". Sir what you have there is a rerr perr.absolutely marvelous.

Hello. I just got a Tilley fl6. My on off knob it around at about 10 o’clock near the back of the reflector. How hot does it get that low on the reflector? I am guessing it is too hot to reach in there.

Das ist noch ein Ziel die zu besitzen... Die ist ja riesen groß! Damit kann man bestimmt eine große Fläche beleuchten.
