Re: [MBZ] Video fun times

[Scott Ritchey via Mercedes]

Lots of emotional appeal to wick lanterns and nothing beats a Coleman-style 
(gas or LP) lantern for raw light output.  But the new LED lanterns are hard to 
beat for convenience.  I have been using a couple of these:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011J9XXP4/
They come on instantly and give good light for general purposes.  I'm still on 
the original set of batteries and probably have 20+ hours of operation so far.  
My only complaint od the switch is hard to find in the dark.

An Aladdin kerosene mantle lamp.  Bright, dead quiet.  We have two.

Mantles used to use thorium oxide, which is mildly radioactive.  (I know I
stuffed one into a gamma counter I had once, and it definitely reacted.)
 Not sure what they use now, but they're not quite as bright and emit
somewhat greener light, if I'm remembering the old ones correctly.  I can't
find the gamma counter, my family might have tossed it, so I can't test
current mantles the same way.

There are Aladdin kerosene lamps that are really nice for a silent light (and

and you can find them on eBay.

What sort of lantern do you all recommend for residential use? We had a
power failure here last night and the 6yo had no idea anything without
batteries could be used for illumination. I am thinking of the wick type or
railroad stuff with reflectors because they are beautiful, but perhaps
should go white gas mantle - we had a nice old coleman we used to use in
riyadh for nightly power failures. But dont those use beryllium or some
sort of toxic crap on the mantles? Lehmans seem to have the wick type in
various flavors.

Another way to improve and LED lantern would be to fill it with water - use
glue or tape if needed to keep the water in, then shoot it with something
like a .30-06. This works a treat with things like empty beer cans . . .

Re: [MBZ] Video fun times

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Heh, I LIKE it.
For the next one I intend to "convert" to kerosene which is a thing lots of 
guys do to whitegas lanterns because kero is generally cheaper than whitegas.
Thing is we'll need a filler port, so drill a hole in the plastic body so we 
can add kerosene. Then kerosene requires preheat so I'll have to drill a hole 
in the top part to add alcohol to preheat. Of course theres no lighting port 
but since the "globe" is plastic I can just burn through that with the torch...
Should be fun times, I'll be sure to have my safety squints engaged...

 OOooohh, mocking the greenie weenie gods now!  Are you sure you want to go
down that path?

Idea for next vid on "improving" the LED lantern.  Start by replacing the
body (plastic) with parts from a metal lantern, in stages.  "Reflector and
handle just don't feel right, let's replace those with these sturdy metal
parts..."  "I'd like to have the metal fuel tank, need that heft to hold
this thing down in the wind"

Next "Hmmm, this cold blue light just isn't cutting it, maybe I'll figure
out a way to make the color a little warmer by putting this old mantel over
the light..."

Soon you'll have rebuilt the LED lamp into a much-improved version, that
happens to use white gas instead of electrons...
