Stansport 12" Hurricane Lantern

Leaked a lot Put a bead of epoxy along the seam Hopefully this works Otherwise I believe the lantern is usable Not bad for the price

First, I don't understand all the complaints I've read about these lanterns. I mean, they cost about 6 bucks each. I don't know what you can expect for 6 bucks other than to have something that looks nice. I give big props to the company for Designing these things like they did at the price that they are. I didn't expect some heavy duty lantern that I was going to take down into gold mines, or even to a two-day camping trip. I bought them for decoration in my garden and they are perfect. Yes they are not high quality Steel but they are sturdy enough. They look easy enough to use, like any Lantern. I didn't like the red color so I just got some bronze hammertone spray paint and painted them in less than 5 minutes. Then I put some fake burn marks on the glass with some black spray paint. And they are wonderful. So, don't expect these to be a family heirloom. They're perfect for what they are. I saw somebody purchased them for decorations for a wedding, that's awesome and they will work perfectly for any event, especially at the low price. Unless you are having a wedding where most of the people are miners then I don't think anybody is going to care! The most irritating thing to me is just a pet peeve that I have about everything that comes with the sticker attached to the product. It took me 10 minutes to get the stickers and all the glue off of the side of the lanterns. I hate that! But hey it all comes off and I'm really happy with them.

DANGEROUS!!! THE WHOLE BOTTOM OF THE LAMP HAS LET GO AND OIL HAS RUN ALL OVER MY WALL AND SPLASHED ALL OVER ME!! I purchased this and filled it with oil in November. The window to return was Nov 25th. I put oil in it and put it on a shelf in my dining room for when power would go out as it often does due to weak electrical grid out my way. The other night the power went out. It was only 16°out and a sbuw storm when power went out last week. I reached for the lamp off the shelf and I got COVERED with lamp oil with NO way to get it off due to having a well and no electricity to run the pump!! When I put it on the shelf I put it on a plate so my shelf wouldn't get accidentally scratched. The plate filled with oil and the bottom of the tank just let lose and drenched me! I have left an email with the company but if course no response. DO NOT TRUST THIS PRODUCT NOR THE COMPANY THAT SELIS IT!!! I would give it a negative 20 if I could. DANGEROUS PRODUCT!!

For YEARS..decades... these things were about 6 bucks at places like Walmart and hardware stores. That being said and over and done with; about 14-16 bucks is what you'll pay now for this large size. It is not quite as generally sturdy as one you might have had back in the 70s or longer ago...but it is fully functional. Some people in reviews said they couldn't get the paper instructions out. Full stop!!! If you don't know how to get the paper out, you do NOT need to use one without A. someone who DOES know how to use it showing you B.watching a how to video. You are dealing with a potentially dangerous item so knowing how to operate it is extremely important. *There is a small ring type hook on top of the lantern. You pull UP on that with one hand while having your other hand gently on the globe cage so you can push it forward or back to get the paper out. You also need to know how to do that to be able to clean the globe AFTER the lantern is perfectly cool to the touch. Any black soot should be cleaned regularly. Do NOT do it while lantern is hot or even warm. Do NOT lean the lantern over. If none of that makes sense watch a video before doing it. Just because it exists doesn't mean everyone should buy or use one. I highly recommend watching several videos on lanterns before you buy one if you have never owned one. This lantern is perfectly fine quality. The globe could be thicker but that's all that is "wrong" with it quality wise. And if you handle it carefully and respectfully it will probably still be working after you are gone. Not a toy. Not a necessity. It is a helpful tool to use as much as you want or need to use it always making SURE to understand how to use it, maintain it, store it. You don't have to be terrified of these lanterns but you certainly DO need to know the basics. Be safe and enjoy this fine product at a decent price.

Llego en Perfecto estado, esta hermoso, tal cual la imagen. En cuanto al uso aún no lo sé y que no lo hemos intentado prender

Produto bom , correspondeu às expectativas, para meu uso está ótimo , recomendo

Mine leaked all weekend of it's inaugural outing which was disappointing

Used it at the campsite. Easy to use, provides nice ambient light to intense bright light. Its a good size and looks nice. Almost antique like. Make sure it remains upright at all times or the lamp oil will spill out. Do not use indoors, as there are fumes that come out of the top.
