Feuerhand 276 Outdoor Hurricane Oil Lantern - German-Made Since 1893, Paraffin Lamp with Galvanized Steel, 300ml Tank, 20 Hour Burn Time, Safe for Hanging or Table Use, Kerosene Camping Light, Iron

The media could not be loaded. Very happy with the quality.All the mechanisms function smoothly and the coloured coating is well applied.I've bought cheap before and this is clearly what they have all tried to copy without success.Well worth the extra few pounds to get a quality lantern.It weights next to nothing and doesn't leak.I've filled with a citronella lamp oil and it burns cleanly and nice and bright even with the wick higher than you would ever use it.I will be getting a couple more to dot around the patio during summer evenings and BBQ's

Looking good so far no leaks good light on the testSo a continuous test I'll give it 7/8 out of 10 if it continues to perform I'll increase it status or if fails then the scores will drop I think it will be up in the top half of the game with the colman deluxe twin fuel burner

Great piece of kit. Soft light from it is beautiful and easy to control, no leaks from mine as others have reported. Can’t say much more really, I’d buy it again if o had to.

Always wanted a Feuerhand lantern, so finally bought one. I spent a long time debating it, but was finally persuaded by the reviews.It does exactly what it's designed to do, and it does it incredibly well. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of light that this lamp produces with a relatively small flame in pitch darkness. The unit is sturdy, should put up with a few bumps and scrapes on camping/fishing trips, and appears to be very reliable in service. There are also a whole range of spares available, but if you want a good stock of spares, my advice is to buy another lantern. This will be far cheaper!So, why only four stars, not five?Well, there are a few points to note here:After unboxing the lantern, I set it up and prepped it for a test burn. When it came to lighting the wick, I pushed the lever down to raise the globe, and the paint on the lever came straight off at the point of contact with the ventilation tube. Now I guessed that these lanterns would be painted in some way, but I really expected it to be much harder-wearing than that. So while the overall visual quality of the painted finish is fantastic, if you're worried about scratches and scrapes, buy the standard unpainted tin version.During use, I also noticed that fuel appeared to be seeping through the joints between the fuel tank and the ventilation tubes, and around the fuel filler neck. Only seeping though, not dripping. Not even enough to form a "bead" around the joints. As far as I know, these are not sealed units, so i'm not sure if that's normal or not. Perhaps I put a little too much fuel in to start with. Who knows. Either way, it's not enough to say that the lantern leaks, because it doesn't. The seepage was so small, that it was only really clarified by blotting some tissue paper on these areas and noticing the absorbency of the fuel into it. If I hadn't looked closely at these areas, I wouldn't have noticed. Not a problem for me, as I don't intend to be carrying the lantern around while it's burning, but it may be a deciding factor for someone else.Lastly, once the flame had extinguished itself, I had one hell of a job trying to raise the globe again. The more I pushed on the lever, the more it was putting pressure on the ventilation tubes instead of lifting the globe. Trying to release the globe by pulling the chimney upwards was also a challenge. It seems that usage of the lantern causes the globe and chimney sections to somehow temporarily fuse together, jamming the chimney in the closed position in the process. I found the only way to overcome this after a burn is to use brute force to pull the chimney up to separate it from the globe, then release it again. The globe raises on the lever without problems after this. It seems rather fiddly at first, but once you get the hang of it, it shouldn't pose any lasting problems. Again, i suspect this is only a problem on the painted units, although I can't be sure. The paint likely fouls a moving part and causes issues. At least it's easy to deal with once you're aware of the problem.All in all, a brilliant, traditional oil lamp which far outperforms other similar models i've seen. It's gonna be my trusty nighttime companion for a long time to come.

Bought as a gift and it was appreciated! The delivery was running behind for Christmas eve after being delayed many times. I reached out to the company and a few hours later the delivery driver dropped it off quoting it was a favour for a friend and they were really behind. I was so pleased about this! Have used it many times since, nice glow from the flame and happy with the build quality. Thank you!

Will outlive us all! Excellent quality and could be handed down to generations if looked after. Bit today and own a piece of German history.

Well made and easy to use

Nice quality lights and have a lovely glow for sitting outside in the evenings.
