Thanks for the info Jûrgen,
I added a 350cp mantle now and I will try the latern tonight...so that I can see if anything goes wrong...the nozzle is secure and all is clean for the next start 
The halo with the 500cp mantle stayed there and got worse during the 10 minutes that I left the latern burning...and that's a bit too long I think..The mantle was well shaped after burning it down and no holes were detected...the pressure was also ok during the burn... 
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?
Hi Jürgen,
It is still at my parents place, my father has greased up the pumpleather again and pressure is building up...I will pay them a visit next weekend...with some mantles and fuel... 
Cheers!
Thanks Orthotiger!
I can read German a little bit, the website is very informative, and the info given wil sure let my Standard 2045 shine some light again...
It's also good to see another collar less type...
Thanks again, more info still welcome!
Hi all,
Here's a picture of the Standard 2045 lantern I've got, and I'm just wondering if anyone would be able to tell me more about it.
Alan from Pressure Lamps Unlimited helped me out a bit allready...we know it's pre 2nd WW...that there are different one's of the type with or without a collar between the tank and glass holder or base plate...(this one is a collar-less type)
The lamp was made by Standard Licht Gesellschaft m.b.H.Frankfurt am Main Alan says...
Any (scanned) documentation, photo's or user manuals would be a good starting point to plot the history of this lantern...
Thanks, Ive
