Electronic lantern project

susogos · 14. November 2012

Hi lantern fans,

I have a Petromax 500 lantern which I rarely use with kerosene. I would like to modify this to electronic, with a e14 socket. Of course without any barbaric or irreversible method.

Anyone have ever try similar? If you have a pic about the original electronic model or any idea about the project I appreciate if you share.

Thanks
susogos

Anchor my conversion. Before I moved the cable I screwed firmly to the wording.
The bulb is a 11w Led execution in. In Rapid tube I have the cable glued with hot glue.

Try something with LED light in G4 socket.
Hang it down through the chimney in the Lamp.
then you can easily reverse it and re-use it with kerosene, whenever you want to.
best regards

E14 socket with energy saver light bulb - looks like a real mantle
Can be removed without any problems.

Cheers,

Yeah! But how you get the original smell and sound from an electricified "Petromax"?

I think that these are the most two characteristic properties of an original Petromax lantern!
