We've been happy with the 2012 Passat TDI - now that the squirrels aren't

great. It feels more solid than the smaller VWs, but not as solid as an MB.

Radioactive? Y'mean, like, glow in the dark?
Not that far. The good ones are coated in Thorium Oxide, which
glows white when heated to incandescence. It's mildly radioactive.
More than bananas, you don't want to eat one. I stuffed one into

That is the best way! Then you can unplug the electrics and it won't

Thanks ! ... nice to have the straight skinny on where they are now made.
Hope they go back to the way they were made for Aladdin for the past 60
years.. the old mantles gave excellent service, if handled correctly. and
gave excellent light.

The new ones are made by Gasman mfg in the Philippines. I've met Sam, he's good

Lumens is a much more honest thing since it's directional. Coleman always took
major liberties with candlepower. I wonder what the lumen output of the Aladdin
is? Based on some LED headlamp outputs I'd guess the Aladdin is sub-100.
