HISTORICAL INFORMATION:
Tilley storm lamp, model number X246-May, has been manufactured since 1964.The hydro-pneumatic blowpipe, created by John Tilley in 1813 in England, is the ancestor of the Tilley Lamp.
Despite being more complex and difficult to handle than wick lamps, pressure lamps provide far brighter light. They are also much more sophisticated than wick lamps. Due to the same name of a manufacturer, this type of light is also known as a "Tilley lamp" in the UK and a "Coleman lantern" in North America.
An illustration of the main components of the kerosene burner using a kerosene blowtorchA little pump at the bottom of a pressure lamp's fuel tank presses the kerosene. A burner (gas outlet) is located at the top of the lamp, which has a little opening called a flue up to it. The mantle, a fabric bag coated with chemicals that ignite when heated by the gas flame, is directly beneath the burner.
The brightness of the burner lamp is well recognized. The amount of pressure applied to the wick is what makes it so bright. This pressure enables a consistent illumination and a steady flow of gasoline.
