LamplightLarge Paraffin Oil Indoor Lamp, Hurricane Lamp, Emergency Kit, 52664 Farmer’s Lantern Indoor Oil Lamp, Black, Original

The media could not be loaded. It's worth the money. Units arrived packaged well and was delivered with prime over night delivery. No assembly was required. Don't pay attention to the negative reviews that state these items leak. As long as you follow the directions and do not fill the lamp above the fill line they will work flawlessly. I purchased 4 units, two of the 2 packs and all 4 work as intended. 1 lamp will provide enough light for my entire kitchen during the dark of night. The burn is clean and smoke free once you close the glass.

Real working oil lamp. Bought for emergencies an fun with kids on the back yard

Care should be exercised with the wick holder ......make sure that it is turned, as far as it will go. Otherwise, fuel will seep out around it and down the bowl.

This is a nice lamp for when the power goes out. Not too big and can carry it easily.

Seems to me an excellent choice for a mini - hurricane oil lamp!After opening package and inspection, followed use directions, trimmed wick, (just a few strands so to be a tight woven ribbon cotton wick), filled to line, lit the oil soaked wick and has been burning through late afternoon, and is over night now 12+ hours later, ...still lighting the area same as when I first lit this lamp!Seemed a bit flimsy, when taken our of its box, but I've no complaints, the stainless steel heavy gage wire handle is excellent to keep one's fingers from being burnt, (gets very hot, as one would expect, so caution!), yet when handle is in its down unused position, is totally out of the way!BTW, in this first use test, after lighting it then carried around a bit, 0laced onto my wood stove, (safety first!), while lit, at 5pm (ish), now 5:50am, still burning as when I first lit this inexpensive hurricane oil lamp..No idea, as to why it's referred to as a farmer's lamp, but this I do know, for being a seemingly cheap emergency light source that produces a bright enough flame to get around in the dark of night, with its efficiency costs of long burning oil, (paraffin in this case, but in emergency cases, could most likely burn lessee fuels, kerosene, diesel, perhaps but with a larger amount of smoke, not usable indoors, I think it would burn vegetable oil, even engine light weight oils...I don't typically go overboard in reviews, but for the price, it's just as good as a much more expensive oil lamp, return on investment, ...no doubt, you'll get what you paid for, as well as an very efficient way of having stand-by emergency lighting, or just plain saving yourself batteries costs, as a regular light source.. "with reasonable care", I'd conclude at this point, the versatility of this lamp and regular daily use, ...will be serviceable for many decades!However, all that said in my humble opinion, this us old school, centuries of history in designed use, is not something a child of young age should be handed, until after being taught for at least a reasonable amount of time how to safely use responsibly, if at some age appropriate that has shown consistently as a responsible young person, say 11 - 14 yrs age!parental responsible care should be in place for children's sake and safety, and the child's able use.. it gets very hot, and is a burning flame that can start very easily, a house fire, barn, garage, forestfire, etc., please, comprehend it's not a flashlight!***Responsible use: IS A REQUIREMENT!****No offense to those who are responsible!Just redundancy!Be safe, and God Almighty, bless you and yours!

This little lantern is the cutest little thing, and I was so excited to use it. I opened it up, put maybe half of the recommended amount of oil in it and used for about 20 min to walk out to hot tub and back.Placed on kitchen table after extinguished and didnt think much about it except to admire its cuteness. The next morning my better half gets upset with me asking why I didnt clean up my mess from filling it. He thought I had spilled some while filling it. I explained I cleaned up the two drops I spilled bit upon investigation it had leaked ALL over my table. Soaking through the table cloth and ruining the finish on my beautiful table. We immediately took it outside and placed it on the Bannister to do something with it after we cleaned up the mess. I seeing a squirrel obviously forgot about it out there until a couple days later, where it has continued to leak all over the bannister and hand rail.Do not buy this if u want to actually use it. Only purchase if you are wanting to admird its cute, tiny appearance!

I purchased the two pack of these lanterns. They work and do not leak as long as you do not overfill it and do not slosh the base around while walking it to a rest spot. Any hurricane lantern can leak through the air venting armatures if you jostle it around too much as the side arms are not welded to the reservoir base. I wouldn't trust my Dietz or Feuerhand lanterns in such a roughly handled manner either but I am sure their are even less prone to leaking but still can leak if encouraged to do so.The reason I dropped this rating to 3 stars is because the build for the armature used to lift the glass is not solid. Because of this, the lift mechanism causes the alignment to get out of whack and causes the lamp to get stuck when lowering the glass back down after ignition of the wick. This causes a little trouble as you need to persuade the alignment by hand to re-affix the glass back to the wick base, quick enough not to burn yourself as the glass begins to heat up. Not the end of the world but it is annoying. I can't fix the issue as the build is not solid enough to stay adjusted to fit right since the armature's adjustment bracket, used to lift the glass, is merely just pressed into groove slots along the side of one of the lanterns venting arms. A loose fit that will easily knock out of alignment regularly.It's such a cheap lamp. Not made in the USA either. That's a lie. It clearly says it is made in China. So...You get a working lamp that needs to be used cautiously but effectively in an emergency. I have many good quality lanterns so I just have these two kept as decorative yet ready to serve an emergency if needed. They just won't be one of the first lanterns I grab, but rather the last.
