For those who have experience with them, can you help me please... I would like to buy one but with four versions on Wild day's site, I dont either know what the differences of each are.. and which is best.... other than i assume the most expensive is "the bees knees". The comparision table doesnt truly compare them.
I have an old version of the third one along and it is really bright. (ask anybody that was at the national) The main difference between them is the light output. Going across the page they are the equiv of a 125W, 140W, 175W, or 200W bulb - it really depends on how much light you need / want.
With mine a full tank of fuel will last about 10 hours (1/2 ltr unleaded - about 50 p)
I've got the two mantle version - bright enough to read by, and gives off enough heat to take the chill off in the tent during the evening (I always light it outside though and am very careful with it inside the tent)
hi i have four vapalux/tilley lamps bit more awkward to lght but just got back from porthmadoc where we had two on the go each night all together we went through four litres of parafin and about 200ml of meths pick up a bargain on ebay but make sure you can get the spares give it a service ie replace all the seals etc new mantles heat and light dirt cheap,just before we went i bought two from a guy in warrington for 25 quid serviced them and away we went
