Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Aladdin oil lamps--WOW!

I wasn't able to get them as bright as the one I used prior, but I think it was due to the wick being very old and not trimmed just right. After about what I would consider 3/4 brightness, I would get orange flame impingement and a the mantle would begin to carbon-up in this one spot.

Here it is with the shade



Kids lovin' it



Other shade (not a full comparison as this one is designed to sit lower, but ran into the other shade support)



I think the newer white pleated shades would be more efficient at diffusing the light and making it brighter...not sure how I feel about these so far

I got out the wick lamp and did a side-by-side with it and the new Aladdin....well it really wasn't a comparison at all (mind you the Aladdin isn't at full power either)
