Primus 1441430 Micron Lantern Mesh with Piezo Ignition

I've had every type of light known to man; my fave is my Northstar (frowned on by Mothers of small children - it's petrol don't you know; it'll blow up you fool?); Tilleys lights - the magic of priming them (again frowned on by Mother's of young children expecting these "smelly" things to explode); candles; Petzl headlights; the list goes on. Then came this light - quietly screw the cannister on the bottom; instantaneous ignition; a gentle purr; hang it on it's own lovely hangar and there we have grief free lighting. PS I still use the other ones when like minds are around :)

A very effective small lantern which gives a decent light output. I would recommend this product.

Zugegeben, so eine LED Campinglampe ist vielleicht praktisch, aber so eine Gaslaterne macht einfach schönes Licht. Die Primus Laterne ist leicht und da sie keinen Glasschirm hat, sehr robust. Ich transportiere sie regelmäßig auf meinen Motorradreisen. Wenn sie dabei weich gepolstert liegt, dann übersteht der Strumpf problemlos eine Saison und mehr.

I love this lantern. In the old days, fuel lanterns like these were an absolute must for camp lighting. Nowadays, it is not my first go to for camp lighting with advent of LEDs. If I set my Luci LED lantern out in the sun for a day, it will light up my camp/tent for two or three evenings on that one charge and weighs less than 125g, which weighs less than even the smallest fuel cylinder for this lantern {ASIN: B01IIV1OC0}. It will do this for months on end. Carbon impact for 4 months use - ZERO. How many fuel cylinders is that in a lantern? What I really use this Primus lantern for nowadays is both light and/or HEAT. If it is too cool or cold, fire this thing up inside the tent, and you will be warm and toasty in no time. If I need to break camp at the crack of dawn and there is dew everywhere, few camp tools will dry out the tent surfaces better than firing up this compact lantern inside the tent for a few minutes. A huge plus. You can then break down and roll up a DRY not soggy tent. In cold weather, I suggest hanging the lantern ready to go in the tent at bedtime, then you can reach out of your sleeping bag and fire it up with the built in piezo lighter (it's fast and easy - check the video) and retreat to the comfort of your sleeping bag while the Primus heats up your tent until it is ok to come out of your cocoon. It is a good source of light, but with all of the advantages of the modern solar chargeable camp lights, it is hard not to regularly use them for your light sources and conserve your fuel. Additionally, the HEAT produced from the lantern while helpful, can also be hazardous, so for casual light, I use the solar lantern when possible, especially inside the tent and if kids are around. Inside the tent, use the hanger (maybe with extensions depending on your tent height ) to keep this thing away from the tent surfaces, and that way you can’t tumble it over and ruin your spendy sleeping bag. If the business metal parts of the unit touches anything fabric while in use, it’s flame on! Since I don’t need to squeeze every single photon from this lantern, the compact metal screen on this lantern is a perfect choice for me. Very practical . . . rough handling; no broken glass globes. It comes with a sturdy carrying bag. Make sure to get some spare Primus mantles to bring with you, also, there are many other brands of mantles on Amazon that fit at a better price. If you can do most of your camp lighting with the LEDs, you can really lighten your load burden by carrying less fuel. This has a great compact form factor for me for both car and ATV camping. It is also light enough to use for some backpacking and many backpacking stoves use this same fuel cylinder. Ready for action; the carry bag, the lantern head with mantle, and two spare mantles, weigh in at 157 grams. Adapters allow you to mate this lantern with other less expensive (and heavier to carry) fuel sources if long term use is needed. See ASIN: B00SR6OVOA and ASIN: B00CFPISZW. I am very happy with this lantern, I recommend it, and would buy it again. Sorry about the photo order, you cannot place them so some are out of order.

Testé lors de mes périples à velo, cet eclairage s'avère peu lumineux. Plus un eclairage d'ambiance q'une lumière. Cependant leger et peu encombrant. Il m'accompagnera dans mes prochaines virées.

I have two of these, and love them dearly. They give off a nice warm cozy light with a decent amount of heat, and are just the ticket to make a cold camp more inviting especially when you don't have the opportunity for a fire or propane fire pit. They're not essential or efficient, but they're just really nice to have around and are a compact luxury that uses the same fuel canisters you're probably already carrying. They can be a bit tricky to light with the piezo starter, depending on how you have the wire positioned. Rotating the lantern to have the spark up and clicking a few times usually does the trick, and they stay lit no problem even in wind once they're going. Sit them in the middle of a table while chatting or playing cards, or hang it from a convenient branch or guy line to help make wandering around the campsite at night easier. They can be turned up/down across a wide brightness range, and will burn anywhere from 24g/hour (quite a lot - uses up a small canister in about 4 hours) at full brightness down to about 8-10g/hour at the minimum brightness that stays reliably lit. Brightness at minimum is maybe 10-20x dimmer than full, so their light output goes down faster than their fuel consumption; the lantern is putting out mostly heat at its minimum setting with almost no light, while at maximum you're getting more light for your fuel relatively speaking. I recommend using the correct Primus mantles for these. I have tried some substitutes and while they can be made to work, they don't fit as well or produce as even a light. Buy a few, keep them in your storage, and they'll last you forever unless you're especially clumsy. The carrying pouch provides good protection, and the metal mesh keeps the mantle safe with no risk of shattering like glass.
