★★★ Reader Feedback: I learned more about kerosene pressure lanterns in 30 minutes with this book than anyone ever told me and more than I'd learned in hours of watching YouTube . . . I highly recommend this book and the other books in the series. - totallyfrozen ● Kerosene Pressure Lanterns is Book 6 of our Non-Electric Lighting Series. Lanterns that use mantles produce light on par with electric lights. And KEROSENE mantle lanterns have an advantage over Coleman-fuel lamps in that kerosene is more generic, more widely available. ● The book has four main sections - (1) It describes six different Coleman models, old and new, made specifically for kerosene. Collector items (expensive) and orphans (no spare parts) are ignored. The emphasis is on practical, day-to-day lighting. (2) It gives the specifics on converting nine different Coleman gas lanterns to kerosene (what generator to use, etc.). (3) It explains Petromax lanterns, a pre-World War II German design. Today, world-wide, there are actually more Petromax lanterns (and Petromax clones) in existence than Coleman. (4) And it explains Aladdin lamps, kerosene lamps that use a mantle but are not pressurized. Aladdins are over a hundred years old and a new model was recently introduced - the first new model in 50 years! ● Kerosene Pressure Lanterns contains 25, 000 words, 168 B7W illustrations, and is 155 pages long. It's available in Kindle eBook format as well as paper. ● AND - oh yes! - this book identifies eleven different lantern models that, given the right generator-mantle combo, will operate on diesel fuel. That alone is worth the price of admission! ● If you picture yourself being forced to live off-grid for an extended period of time, then THIS is the book you need. You don't have to cook supper or fix the car or deliver a baby by the light of a candle. You can have light equivalent to a 50 or 100 or 200 or 300-watt electric bulb. Pressurized kerosene lanterns come from another day and age but are known, established, reliable technology. This book is not artsy-fartsy. It's nitty-gritty. ★★★ Reader Feedback: I have owned several kerosene mantle lamps over the last 40 years . . . if you are interested [in kerosene mantle lamps], then I don't know of a better source of information. - PLM ● This is an 8-book series.
