This principle worked 150 years ago on Victorian carriage lamps. Great idea for camping, if a little costly to run. I like the portability and compactness. Good product and good presentation.

Thinking about one of these. Would I be correct or wrong in thinking that once the lantern is lit it is safe to stand it on any surface without any concern for fire or heat damage or fire risk? Just thinking if it's Ok to stand it on an ordinary table for hours during a home power outage?

SUGGESTION- An option you might want to experiment with to increase the additional heat the lantern can provide. I made a circular "heat shield" from an aluminum can and it attaches it to the top by making slots in it to attach to the handle. In addition to the added heat, it provides a surprising amount of more reflective light. Great review of the lantern btw.
@RestlessWonderer4 жыл бұрын
That is a great idea, and something I am going to try. Are you making a cone from the side of the can, or cutting out the bottom whole?
@grizzbuck4 жыл бұрын
Cut the bottom & top off the can, cut can up the side and create a flat aluminum piece to cut your circle shape from it. I would suggest making a paper model first, so you know the shape & place to cut out slits to attach to the handle. Kind of attaches to the handle with the same principle that the underneath ash tray attaches to the legs of a Weber Grill, if that makes sense. Look at a pic of a Weber Grill to see what I/m suggesting. Hope this makes sense.
@rodshop58973 жыл бұрын
Good idea. There is a Pac-Flat reflector on eBay that I think is what you are aiming for. Looks like something that could be made from an aluminum can to me.
@grizzbuck3 жыл бұрын
Cut off the entire bottom & top of can, which will leave you with an aluminum tube, basically. Cut up the side of the "tube" and flatten. Now, you will have a sheet of aluminum, which you can now transfer your paper pattern onto.
