Hi all,
I have a Day Lite pressure lantern that looks quite like a Petromax...same height, same Rapid heater...it was bought in Italy by a friend of mine...and used for a while...
I've got it burning but, I'm still not sure if it's a 500CP version...with a 500cp mantle it burns fiercely, extremely bright and hot...
I don't think it's normal that a halo of transparent flame should be burning on the outside of the mantle...you can also hear something I call 'hunting'...or a kind of resonating vaporization...
I'll try it again with a 300cp mantle otherwise...fuel used is kerosene...
Any Idea's?
