Another Tilley FL6 flood light...

Hi Lightless,

do have another Tilley X246, AL21 or a Bialaddin?

They all work in the same way

Here some lighting instructions:

-use a 2hole mantle

-fill in kerosene

-pump her up

-open the pressure valve--is there a thin beam (right word?)?

- if YES:

-use the preheat cup

- after preheating, light her up

- then you will see, if she works or not

Shining regards from the north frontier of Bawaria

Hi all,

I got hold of a FL6 recently...I will receive it next week I hope...
This light is awsome and huge, that's why we all are extatic about it I supose...I will use it to light up downhill streetluge meetings...

Question 1:
I would like to know if anyone out there has one or used it before...and can explain the usage a bit for us...
exactly the same way as an standard tilley lantern
Question 2:
What mantles are used and how do they look like...I know that I won't be able to find the exact ones here in Belgium...but maybe I will be lucky to find something suitable...
simply use petromax 500 mantle's, with two holes.

Question 3:
Does anyone have some kind of user manual other than the PDF file mentioned on this superb website...

All info welcome...Thanks!

This is my FL6...I'm actually restoring it right now...it needed new paint in a propper way...a spare parts set (washers/pump leather) is ordered and will be installed...

Another question: does the burner simply slide over the gas-tube without clicking into possition...Mine just slides into possition...no steel washer or clip on the gas-tube...it looks a bit weird having the burner attached like that...normal ?

Yes, that's normal.....simple but effective

Hi The correct mantle is the Tilley 191 obtainable from here:-
