Feuerhand Outdoor Hurricane Oil Lantern 276, German-Made Since 1893

You get what you pay for. Had 2 cheap lanterns previously, and they were trash. Shoddily built, and dangerous. This thing is as solid as a rock. Excellent build quality that will last for years. Just pick your colour and light it up. Worth every penny.

well made, tested works great. I'm ready for anything

Been using this weekly in the garden for about 18 months now. It’s a great wee light which gives a comforting warm glow. I use it turned down mostly as I’m only lighting a small space and it uses hardly any oil. My lantern, a wee radio and a couple of beers is my favourite Friday night scenario - if it ever breaks (unlikely as it seems pretty bullet proof) I’d definitely get another. Highly recommend.

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.

I've wanted one of these for a long time and I'm absolutely over the moon with it, great quality very easy to use and cosy af under a canvas tarp 😊

Love this lamp, looks great, love the retro look and nice glow it gives off, really good for tarp camping in the woods or any other camp, would look really nice in the the garden too. A really well known and respected maker of oil lamps, can also buy individual parts for this online if anything ever fails on the lantern. So this lantern should last year's , really easy to use too, I really love the look of it. The lantern arrived quickly and well packaged , I got it at a great price too, I should get years of use out of it and look forward to taking it on all my woodland camps. I really recommend it, a really nice silver colour, not too heavy or big, should fit on my backpack easily, not too heavy to take with me on my camps. Really pleased with the product and service , I'd definitely recommend it.

Very good quality Tin 😂 don’t get why it is so expensive . Looks good , may aswell buy the best ! This is the Petromax brand ❤️ always good quality 👍🏼👍🏼

Nice lamps, however, only giving 3 stars as they are not that resistant to corrosion. Especially the zinc coloured one which appears to have actually gone rusty. I still use them, but it is a pity as the actual lamp design and general appearance good. I think the description over exaggerates the standard of material....

Very nice size. Well made and very simple and easy to operate.. Purchased to use as emergency lighting. No soot accumulation or any operating issues. A very solid item highly recommended.

Fantastica, immancabile nelle serate con gli amici in giardino dopo una grigliata, credo che l'odore del petrolio bruciato (non si sente con fiamma regolata giusta) allontani anche le zanzare, comunque da un calore che sembra ci sia una persona in più. Funziona molto bene, è super economica ed è facilissima da usare, la fiamma non si spegne col vento e la lanterna è molto sicura, sto valutando di prenderne una seconda! La staconsiglio!!

Sehr hochwertige Lampe, sehr schick in weiß.

Mycket
