Hey Benedict! First of all thank you for making this comparison. I think that today we all get used to greater intensity of light and everything seems little to us. But they are two wonderful pieces. thanks again!
I used to use hurricane lamps for night fishing, set a few up and leave them going all night, a lot to be said for their low cost and easy use. Nice vid Benedict cheers.
I don't know. Never used a whole tank. You could ask Tilley, they are based around Guildford in Surrey (UK) and still going. Many thanks for watching, please like, share and if you like the channel, subscribe!
Great Ben, i know now to look for a tilley not a hurricane ready for when the lights and heat go out this winter. What fuel do you use for the tilley thanks for sharing mr f
Are 'Tilley Lamps' or 'Hurricane Lamps' safe to use indoors? I am a Gas Engineer and concerned about the CO output inside with or without ventilation and the effects of a 'Tilley Lamp/ Hurricane Lamp/ Coleman lamp' on our health? I am also considering restoring a few of these items, and need to check their safety of use before I am attacked by 'TROLLS' ? Many thanks dx
As safe as a gas stove or fire. You could do with a CO alarm. I have one. However as they burn oxygen, you would also want ventilation. Many thanks for watching, please like, share and if you like the channel,, subscribe!
Lovely lamps - I've got a couple of hurricane lamps, one very much like yours and also a Dietz one that I got in a job lot of stuff. I've also got a pair of Bialaddin lamps which are more or less like your Tilly lamp - haven't used them for years but one did feature on my Radioactive lens video due to the Thoriated mantle. They're great things to have around. I once had a Wells No.5 lamp but stupidly I sold it - crazy thing, just a lump of cast iron with a huge wick - no attempt at getting a clean flame, no glass chimney to make it burn brighter and cleaner - interesting thing to have owned for a while anyway.
@@BensWorkshop There's something really nice and warming about the light you get from the old paraffin lamps - perfect time of year to be enjoying them too.
Hello Ben, Really interesting... We us to have a hurricane lamp for the garden and run it on citronella oil to keep the mosquitoes away... do you think the Tilley lamp would run on citronella oil... Take care. Paul,,
You can run a tilley on this fuel, you can also add a few drops of citronella oil to a litre of paraffin. You can get the essential oil from Holland and Barret.
@@charliewood5960, possibly risk carbonising the vaporiser tube quicker than pure paraffin or white spirit. Citronella oil mix used in a wick double burner lamp sooted up the upper section of chimney.
Exactly the video I was looking for. For no reason other than impulse I decided yesterday I need a lamp. Part nostalgia for when as a kid I used to wild camp and go fishing with my Dad, Part for when the inevitable power outages happen and part the aesthetics, they look really nice. A frantic Internet research drew me towards a Wallis and Bates M320 which I lost out on ebay. I then discovered about 3 miles away there is a place called Tiley International which sells lamps so as soon as christmas has anti climatically ended I will get overv there. I saw the Feurhand hurricane lamps but given the comparably cheap price I wanted to know how the two compare. Many thanks
I have no idea how much new Tilley lamps cost or if they have them in stock but plenty of second hand ones come up including in Facebook marking places. There are also other videos I have on Tilleys, how to light: ruclips.net/video/LjLklAT66AU/видео.html And how to change the mantle: ruclips.net/video/-AXNCWH3HIY/видео.html Many thanks for watching!

@@TonyM540 ha ha tell me about it . I posted that a year ago , I have over 30 lamps now ,pressure and hurricane . Gallons of paraffin , biofuel , wicks , mantles and seals . Looking for any excuse to exercise them. One of a handful of people happy about power cuts .
I will be. I have two Tilley lamps that need a service and be be brought back to life for a start as well as several small stoves. I also have a petrol Optimus stove video here: ruclips.net/video/1iJ6UHc_KA8/видео.html
By the way, the Tilley lamp is a very reliable piece, which we know well in these regions, since many decades ago the operators of our railways used them in service.

PS, they are still made and you can still buy new ones and indeed spares for old ones. Lots of Tilley lamp videos on my channel too!

Yes, they can be useful. Also they are quieter than a Tilley lamp. Just not as bright.
Thank you great video

How long will the Tilly lamp
burn constantly for on one tank of fuel ?
I don't know. Never used a whole tank. You could ask Tilley, they are based around Guildford in Surrey (UK) and still going.

Great Ben,
i know now to look for a tilley not a hurricane ready for when the lights and heat go out this winter.
What fuel do you use for the tilley
thanks for sharing
mr f
Same in both. Called paraffin in the shops but kerosene at the fuel pumps (in the countryside) where it is sold primarily as a heating oil.
What does the pumping do? Is it just to get it going?
Like a Primus stove, it pressurises the fuel tank to provide fuel flow.
Many thanks for watching Geoff.
Hi, Ben.
I have one of them larger Tilley lamps .
They're good lamps.
Hope you and Dusty are well.

I do like the mantle lamps. Just looked up the Wells No 5. As you say, a lump of cast iron with a wick! The Dietz is supposed to be good.
@@BensWorkshop There's something really nice and warming about the light you get from the old paraffin lamps - perfect time of year to be enjoying them too.
Yes. Not so good for making instructional videos though...
@@BensWorkshop Haha, yes, you did disappear into the gloom, particularly with the hurricane lamp!!!
@@GrumpyTim Could be useful in a film....Not so much for me.
Hello Ben,
Really interesting... We us to have a hurricane lamp for the garden and run it on citronella oil to keep the mosquitoes away... do you think the Tilley lamp would run on citronella oil...
Take care.
Paul,,
I don't know t be honest. I'd be inclined not to try it though as a Tilley can be expensive. Many thanks for watching.

I buy lots of them at car boot sales, warning : they’re addictive.

Yes they are. Still made about 40 miles from me. (55km)
