Petromax Lantern Tank Protection Plate for HK350 and HK500 Brass Finish

Description

Petromax Lantern Tank Protection Plate for HK350 and HK500 Brass Finish. When the lamp is operated with a damaged mantle, small but very hot flames can push through holes in the mantle and possibly damage your lantern or compromise the joints in the tank. The protection plate shields the tank from damage even when the lantern is burned with a damaged mantle. It’s included with your new lamp, but is considered a sacrificial part. It will be compromised if the lamp is burned with a damaged plate. For this reason, we recommend keeping one on hand to ensure uninterrupted safe use of your lantern. This plate fits lamps built during or after 2000. You can recognize them because the supporting rod is screwed to the frame. For the lamps built before 2000, the supporting rod is riveted to the frame.

The Petromax HK500 is probably the most famous kerosene lamp in the world. With its impressive light output of over 400 watts, it combines unique strong light technology with an elegant, nostalgic design. Since its invention in 1910, the Petromax strong light lamp has illuminated every darkness and captivated people.

Weather-resistant and reliable light
With its bright light, the robust strong light lamp not only fascinates nostalgics, globetrotters and outdoor fans, but is also used by aid organizations and armed forces. Thanks to the highly heat-resistant borosilicate glass cylinder made by Schott, wind and weather cannot harm this reliable light source.

Unique strong light technology in German manufacturing quality
The outstanding light output of the Petromax lamp is the result of a simple but fascinating principle: Petroleum is fed under pressure into a carburetor, the vaporizing fuel reacts in a mantle impregnated with fluorescent salts to produce a bright, warm light. To ensure that this principle works perfectly, the lamp, which consists of over 200 individual parts, is still assembled by hand.

The right accessories for everyone
In addition to various reflectors, storage and transport bags, there are many other accessories. For example, the Petromax lamp can be converted into a stove or a heater. Thanks to this large selection of high-quality accessories, the lamp can be individually extended and equipped.
