I started to learn how to use this kind of lamp while in the US with Craig. I must admit that it is more complicated, heavier, need to be handled carefully and with good maintenance... and why is that so that this is so enjoyable to have a leaving object like that... Elegant. Useful. Complicated and basic at the same time. Where you have to spend the time to take care of it and learn how it behaves... : I must be getting old to enjoy that :-)



Coleman is the oldest manufacturer in US for pressure lamps. In Europe, I think the Petromax is the reference...
I ordered one and hope to get it next week.
It is so interesting to surf on the net and discover that there are clubs of users, taking care of their lamps together and educating new users... I read on a post somewhere that so many stories have been written at the light of those lamps, during marvelous trips, adventures and experiences... I like that thought.

PS: It is good to be in love :-)
