New Manufacture Peerless Mantles, are they any good?

The folks from the Indo Auerlicht Manufacturing Company, makers of Peerless Mantles sent me over some mantles to try out. I told them I'd make a video and at long last here we are.
I'm going to mark this one "Paid Promotion" although I didn't get paid the mantles were free. The video is my opinion having used the mantles for a relatively short period of time. If, in the future, I have more to say about them you'll be sure to see it here.

Way to go Curt. Thanks for putting this out there for us lantern geeks.

[@harrystratton941]

Nice side by side comparison, thank you!

Many thanks to Lantern Lab for this unbiased video. We urge all lantern and camping enthusiast to try the new Peerless mantle in order to see a significant difference between the coleman mantles and the ones we offer (Peerless). I am certain of a bright & long lasting light in every lantern that uses the new Peerless mantles. Please contact American Mantle company, Morris, IL. to get your hands on these. Thank you.

Thanks for making a great video. I was happily surprised to see a new video from you!! Perfect timing to start getting the lanterns ready for spring & summer!

Nice to see you again!

I appreciate you making another video. Excellent.

Thank you, Curt, I appreciate you doing this. I have yet to try the newer production Peerless from the Philippines, but am less hesitant to now.

[@marklynch8781]

Great video as always.

Nice video Curt, good comparison

[@dannylott702]

I'm glad to see another video from Lantern lab I do like him a lot and I think he has a lot of good information to share with the world hopefully we can see a lot more from him soon

[@stevenscott5212]

Great video very enlightening 😀

[@markhopkins5624]

Good to see you are making videos again- This one was very informative. I only use the peerless mantles, I just cannot deal with the murky yellow light the Coleman mantles put out. American mantle company is awesome, great selection and prices.

[@bryansevera3893]

Hello , I hope to see and hear more

[@brunomahle1618]

well look what the cat dragged in....lol😁 Good to see you active

[@jeschreindl]

Good info thank you man 👍🏻

[@rottinone]

I use 2c hg 's and absolutely love them.

[@bigferd4534]

Awesome video! The side by side comparison was something I’d been waiting on someone to do a video on. The newer Peerless 2C-HG’s have been better over the last few months, at least from my experience with them. About a year ago the 2C-HG’s would shrivel up badly on burn in. I bought some last month and they burned in uniformly and looked like normal mantles. It’s nice to see yours held a consistent shape 👍🏻 I’ve been impressed with their 24-A’s and the 111’s since production shifted to India. My only complaint is that they look dirty after burn in. Thankfully they do get cleaner looking after a couple of light ups. I’m curious if you’ve had the same experience. I’d like to see the P logo back on the mantles as well.

[@LanternLabs]

To be fair these mantles showed up in 2021, I was really slow to make the video...

[@jimhayes5928]

Very good mantles and always searching to buy them in Ireland , but unfortunately never available .

[@LanternLabs]

Amazon has them in the US. The ones sold by Amazon are always Yttrium. I wonder if you could get them shipped. Sad the prices of shipping lately though.

[@justimagine2403]

Do either of them glow with UV light? Since they are radioactive?

[@keithkorthals6183]

OK dumb question about how to get the mantle to balloon out without blowing a hole in it....again maybe a coleman issue. Full pressure right away? If i dont use full pressure i get a strange shape and not full brightness. Full pressure blows a hole in the coleman ones😢

[@LanternLabs]

Coleman mantles are more fragile than others, especially newer manufacture ones. I made a video some years ago where I said I'd never had an issue with them, then I pulled out a mantle that had a hole in it. Completely unplanned it just happened that way. I've had better luck using less pressure the first time I use a mantle.

[@juancarlossilvagutierrez9569]

Hi mate, I have just purchased a 286A single mantle lantern but it came without a mantle nor a manual. I believe the correct size is 21 but I would like to know if something bigger can fit well enough for this lantern without harming it. Do you know?

[@LanternLabs]

You're right about the #21, or a 2C HG in Peerless. The thing to be careful with on the newer lanterns is that the valve block is plastic. I'd be worried that a bigger mantle would put the heat that much closer to the valve and might melt it. This is why you shouldn't run newer lanterns without their heat shield.

[@2010stoof]

I just bought a 3 pack on Amazon (12 total) of the 21 style Not sure which I'll get....

[@LanternLabs]

I *think* if they're "brand: Peerless" that means they're thorium.

[@JMGeranimo]

So is the old guide that the dark green ones with the name are thorium and the light green with the 'P' symbol yitrium gone?

[@LanternLabs]

Correct

[@wadeosceola6738]

Good afternoon, I wanted to ask if a Lancaster green top 24-A mantle, would be compatible with a coleman 236 white gas lantern . Thank you

[@LanternLabs]

It'll work but will be on the small side. #24 Lancaster/Peerless (same thing) are equivalent to a Coleman #99. A little bit smaller than a #11 or #111.

[@PeopleAlreadyDidThis]

Some time ago-a few years-I bought two batches of Peerless 2C-HG’s. The first batch assumed beautiful, slightly bulbous shapes when burned in. The later batch (also Filipino) look like misshapen basketball shorts. They don’t round up well, certainly don’t take that nice bulblike shape. They’re also inconsistent in size, usually mismatched in the same package. Many of the first batch are now tearing just below the burner. They haven’t seen much use. I’d probably conclude that the Indian versions would be the same as the later I have from the Philippines.

[@wadeosceola6738]

Lantern lab, good morning. Is it o.k. / safe to use a peerless 2C-HG classic mantle on a Canadian 635 coleman lantern? By the way, on mantle packaging it reads 250cp. Thank u

[@LanternLabs]

I had to look up the 635, it appears to be a white gas 500cp lantern. While it's not dangerous to use a 2C-HG you won't get maximum light output. See my "You can't do that with a Coleman Lantern" video for a 500cp lantern using small mantles.

[@wadeosceola6738]

Good morning, I have the peerless model 111, and I also have the peerless model 24-A . Do u have any suggestions on what mantle can give me more of a white light ?? Thank u

[@wadeosceola6738]

@@LanternLabs good morning, and happy holidays. I may be able to purchase a coleman 335 lantern soon I hope, and I wanted to ask u what mantle is best compatible for this model. I have peerless 111 500-A and I also have the peerless 24-A . Thanks for your time and all your advice !

Not that I know of at the moment.
