I'm surprised at how bright it is, even after damaging one of the mantles whilst reassembling it!
these mantles still available?was given a lamp same as this a few years ago with a damaged mantle but never got around to fixing it.
Be careful what you run it on as differing fluids have different burn temps and can cause damage to the vapouriser and go bang.
Yes, I have since found 4 mantles for £6.45, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4x-Coleman-Instaclip-mantles-for-Coleman-282-285-and-295-Powerhouse-lamps/263684422286?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
I find that mine doesn't like running on paraffin and petrol at the same time, lol. I may try panel wipe but seems nice and bright on unleaded as Ian says!
Has anyone tried ethanol or IPA (isopropyl alchohol, not beer)? I can get unlimited supplies of those.... but i'd imagine they are far too thin and would just turn into a massive flare
I've a torch, it doesn't burn my tent down and works with the click of a button.
