Review on Stainless Steel Replacement Globe For Wire Mesh Camp Lantern by Greg Hammett

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Read my description first !

First of all I would like to say that this is a top quality project product, and should last much longer than my lifetime. The height is exactly right for a Coleman propane or gasoline lantern, but the diameter is approximately one 16th of an inch greater than the lip of the top and the base of the lantern to fit. It’s too big and will not fit at all, unless you make a V crimp crimp with some vise grip pliers and then extend the crimp at the top and bottom of the screen through the height of the screen. This effectively shortens the circumference and will allow it to fit a Coleman propane or gasoline lantern. I put the area of the crimp behind the generator , (which is the vertical post that goes up and curves over into which the mantels are attached), thinking that if there was a dimutation in brightness as there is already a shadow there, but when I ignited the lantern it made no difference whatsoever in the crimp Was totally inconsequential and diminishing the brightness of the lantern. I had bought two, one is a spare for another lantern. With about 10 minutes work, it works perfectly.
