Just to be clear, in the UK, I believe, what you call paraffin is kerosene to us in the States. We have a separate oil called paraffin, which is a more refined kerosene suitable for interior home use, is often colored for oil lamps, but is available in clear.
@@redicej5843 Mostly i will pumping in between.....But i am using it for night fishing on the beach on the sea side. Then is pumping also a good thing to stay warm. :)
As Penfold50 suspect, the knob should point up when pumping a pressure / start an pre- heating ignition. And, few secs of pre-heating, turn the knob slowly on full burning mode, and shut down the pre valve, and ya´l good to go.
I recently came across one of these at a yard sale has original glass company etched Adia Germany and what I believe is a percussion cap igniter on the side like a black powder type cap placed on the nipple then struck to light . I'm just guessing that is what it's for ? If anybody can tell me anything about it I would be Thankful for any education you could give me on this lantern . I hope everyone is having a Great New Year Peace .
The petromax hk500 is a lot of trouble. It rarely works and you will spend a lot on spare parts and more time fiddling with it than actual burning hours. It is not made well enough. The needle does not completely close of. The pre burner stops very often and hard to ignite. The mixing chamber either comes loose or breaks of. The plastic pressure nob snaps your fingers. The pressure build up takes forever and during pre burning you get a sore thumb! Just buy a few good old fashioned oil lamps and save yourself 200 euro and more plus additional spare parts. By nature i realy like these type of items but this is just adding trouble and stress to your life
The pricker needle is not to shut off the fuel to the lamp it is only there to remove any soot from the jet hole . Release the pressure in the tank to shut the lamp down .
I totally agree on this. What would you rather have a big lamp that puts out a huge amount of light that has a lot of parts that can break or a smaller lamp that dont put out as much but is almost imposssible to break an is very reliable?
excellent video there buddy ...but why did you not cover that lovely wooden table with a protective cover ???? .. it is going to smell of kerosene/ paraffin for some time now.. if I had a lovely table like that I would not have done that , but cover it .. perhaps its worthless and its destined for the fire ..no mention of any clean.. great firing up though
Paraffin/kerosene is pumped through a jet at high pressure, this comes in contact with a pre-heated vaporiser at the top of the lamp, this turns the kerosene spray into vapour which mixes with air, and burns and heats a ceramic fibre 'mantle' which glows white hot.
Great video, one question: The manometer on mine is not line up, the red needle points towards 8 o'clock, have I over or under tightened it? Or does it not matter? Feels tight enough, no leaks, lantern seems to operate fine. In advance, many thanks for your help. Best regards, Manny Essex
When I was kid my father made me expert to light up and maintain this portable kerosene light! Now more than forty years later I see this process again!
There's a case where it is actually exploding, how do we follow safety precautions to avoid the danger of explosion? I was a victim of this thing when I was a kid.
Yes. Petromax sells a kit for it. I bougth one on 2006 with everything they sell for it for under $250. Including the petromax black bag...the best lantern out there...cheers!
Not good quality like before the tank of mine started to leak just after waranty time ! I 've used petromax lamps since chilhood and all around the world during my career , never anymore ! ,too expensive , unreliable ( mine broke at the worst moment !) better look at "butterfly " never experienced any trouble with them but little less efficient, no rapid start and no spares!

Just bought one of these and wished I watched this video first lol - my mantle was not lighting at all asnd i now realise it is positioned wrongly, one mantle down and one to go 👍🏻
Used for years in 1980s,, considered the brightest portable light ,,,,main issue was it's element,, very fragile
can it be used indoors? Because the instructions clearly state for outdoor use only!
With that much pumping I better get a happy ending.
Hahahahahahahahaha!!!! Omg! Amen, brother!
In my childhood, I was so curious how this thing actually works!
me too
Price
remind me of 80-90 era, we use this lamp at our house, especially to dry our laundry during rainy season
POINT THE CONTROL KNOB DOWN? Really? If you do that, you won't build any pressure... Point it UP!
Popular in the remote areas in the Philippines and the Fishermen fishing at night.
yes just.like.coleman.lantern
My wife was on the other chair looking at me in a disgusting way.

That is not the case. We now use Fuer Hand lamp oil which is 99% parrifin. Providing set up is correct you don't get any soot.
Hii
YEAH Bang it HARD
Is it possible to control/dim the amount of light emitted? Also how do you turn it off?
When the pressure is down, the light will be down slowly
Not really good to control. If the pressure is to low, the lamp starts flickering
💚😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁👍
Number
Ahhh just like my kerosene heaters!
I have the Coleman Northstar, works on unleaded petrol. Always trouble with the damn thing. This looks better with paraffin.
Your vid states point the control knob down for priming, then when starting you point it down !!!
It's almost like lighting a Coleman lantern. Some of the technique is the same.
Rage pumping .... very nice lantern
Lamentablemente, no se nada ingles, por lo que no puedo ni negar ni afirmar nada, si se qwue me intereza una lampara de aire a kerossen
how much fuel consumption per hour?
Full tank (about 0.9 -1L) can give you about 8hours of light.
how long it will last?
With a full tank about 7 to 8 hours
@@thinge27 Is that without pumping in between?
@@redicej5843 Mostly i will pumping in between.....But i am using it for night fishing on the beach on the sea side. Then is pumping also a good thing to stay warm. :)
It also depends on which fuel u use....

I have buyed an adapter so I can pump up the pressure with my
bicycle pump ,much faster and less effort.
Best and clearest I've seen. No blather.
"Point the control knob down" (@ 1:09) it says in your video, but you point up and the pointer on the blue control knob points up.
Which is it ?
As Penfold50 suspect, the knob should point up when pumping a pressure / start an pre- heating ignition. And, few secs of pre-heating, turn the knob slowly on full burning mode, and shut down the pre valve, and ya´l good to go.
Dam! This man is pumping it so violently he's gonna cause the mantle to break off.

What will happen if you keep pumping the pressure up, will it explode?
Try and see.
Probably petromax lamp will turn into blow torch
No, the lamp will glow up enourmesly and start etching a pentagram at your forehead.
Its element blows and stops working. I have seen this happen many times when people who do not know how to pump up.

have an adapter with regulator.
can fill from tire or portable air tank.
what about smell? Can it be used inside the building?
No, that one is too powerfull, it will burn oxygen really quickly. hl1-c is for internal use
