Hello,

I have also two Petromax 500 CP lamps and I have tried the much advertized stainless steel nozzle. But it does not function properly. With that steel nozzle you get very often these flare-ups etc. so it is a bit of crap!

To Benz-Ihn: Here in Finland´s army our partisane soldiers still use very much Tilley and Petromax kerosine lamps and burners during autumn and winter conditions in the forest and Lappland highlands.

And one question, please:
I am now soon short of my Peerless Thorium mantles that I byed a year or two ago from USA. Do you know if I now a days can buy these mantles frome Europe?

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!

Hi,

I then ordered my Petromax spare parts (inclusive glasses) directly from Petromax Gmbh 25.8.2012. In my order was some 40 different parts and I got all those small parts very rapidly to my home door by DHL yesterday on 29.8.02012 This is a very good service!

Ok,

But only the firm "Tunnelmantuojat" says that they have any spare glasses and then to a price between 15-20 €!

So, I think it is best to order these spare glasses and also some other spare parts (seals etc) directly from Pelam.

Thank you for your advices
Best regards

Are there no Petromax Resellers in Finland?
from Germany at www.pelam.de (obviously)
send you PN as links are not allowed.

Yes, in Helsinki we have in principle a Petromax reseller called "Kaasuvalo" but they do not have many spare parts on stock, only complete lamps an some mantles.

Hi again!

During this sommer I managed to broke two glasses of my three Petromaxes!

Please tell me from where I can buy these fine original Petromax glasses?
I am asking this because my original supplier in Finland does not eny more exist!

Hi,

Last year I managed to buy some Peerless thorium mantles for my Petromaxes but now this seller has probably gone.

Could you please advice me, from where in Europe I can buy these fine bright and durability thorium Peerless mantles? My three Petromaxes are all of model HK 500 CP.

Best regards

Hi,

There in another tread the pseudonym "fox0512" told that the superb most brightest mantle for Petromax HK 500 CP would be the "500cp Peerless mantles". I have tried to find these in Finland but without success. What do you think, are these Peerless mantles really so much brighter than any other mantles?

Don´t worry Petromax-lanterns were invented, about 100 years ago. They were built for fuel of much less quality than you can buy today, where we have pure and clear petroleum of high quality...

If you say my burning problems are due to too clean petroleum, then I must try to use some of Lukoils or Neftegaz bulk Kerosine petroleum. I will report back.

Hello,

Thanks, that worked! But I think there should also be some other "convential" solution based on the Petromax origanal parts and their adjustments.

Ok, thanks. Now I understand from the picture what to do!

Anteeksi mutta en oiken ymmärtänyt Voisitko hieman tarkemmin selittää mitä tehdä? Sorry, I did not quite understand, but could you please some what more specify how to get rid of this pulsating light?

Hi all

I have two Petromax lanterns from Petromax Deutschland. They have functioned very well but the sound of the lanterns is somewhat pulsating - is this normal?

Now my other Petromax have also begun to pulsate the light intensity according to the pulsating sounds!

The pulsating frequence of these lanterns are very near a human beings heart rates, but I do not think they can have anything to do whis this:)

Please, tell me how I can get rid oif the pulsating light? With the the pulsating sound there is no problem - it does not disturb me.

Best Regards to all of you,
Kenneth from Finland, Helsinki

Hi

Upper in this thread Benz-ihn told that it is possible to get a little bit more light output from a Petromax by using an elongated Butterfly mantle.

Could you please inform me where from Europe I can by such mantles? Here in Finland I have not found these mantles.

Best Regards

Hi Kenneth,

you got an PN!

Best regards Carsten

Sorry, but what do you mean with a PN?

Ok, thank you very much for your advices!

I thought that I could get from the two hole mantle even more light!

But the durability of the mantle is not for me any big issue, that is because my three Petromax lanterns are all very stationary positioned.

I tried to find from Finland (where I live) these suggested "Coleman gold top 1111" mantles, but without any luck. Do you know any netshop that have these?

Best regards.
