Description

If you choose to go down the fuel-burning path for your lighting needs, the decision-making process is simplified by differentiating between size, weight, output, and overall convenience. In short: if it’s got flames coming out of it, it’s best to buy the best you can buy! What are the Best Lantern Mantles Out There in 2020? The mantles are produced by dipping a meshed fabric (e.g., nylon web) into a solution of thorium nitrate. Other metals are added to the solution for a variety of reasons. For example, cerium is added to increase the light output, while beryllium increases the mantle’s strength. The fabric is then removed from the solution and dried. Lastly, it is coated with lacquer and fashioned into one of two types of mantles: a soft mantle or a hard mantle. The soft mantle is essentially a bag with either a drawstring or some type of fitting that attaches the mantle to the burner. The fabric of a hard mantle is supported by a metal frame that gives it a dome-like shape. While lantern mantles might not prove to be the best choice for the ultralight, gram-counting thru-trekker, for those pitching up near where they’re parking, or who require more light than offered by a standard headlamp or flashlight, they are an option well worth considering, and not purely for aesthetic or stylistic reasons, either… While the temptation may be to think that you’re taking gas along to cook with in any case (and thus needn’t worry about the additional weight required for lighting) it’s worth remembering that there will be very little left to cook with if you are running your lantern on the same canister/supply!

If lantern blazes and smokes more than a few seconds when first lit, then close valve and repopen one fourth turn as soon as light dims.For solo campers, a lantern mantle may prove to be overkill unless you really aren’t a fan of the dark or are especially keen on the idea of being spotted by passing satellites(!). For thru-trekkers or those who are simply painstaking gram-counters when it comes to camping gear, more weight-friendly light sources such as a headlamp may well be the most attractive and suitable option. If, however, you are car-camping, pitching your tent a short distance from the trailhead, or just happen to prefer a lavish supply of light, then a weightier fuel-burning lantern becomes more feasible and a justifiable luxury.

If you have occasion to write the dealer or the factory, mention that your Lantern is a Model 200A Lantern. If you mail the Lantern, send it less Globe and ventilator to avoid breakage. GENERATORbegin-bvseo-questions-->

Avid campers were estimated to receive 0.05 to 6 mrem per year, while the estimate for one-time campers was 0.002 to 0.06 mrem. Pertinent Regulations The inhalation doses were based on the assumption that all of the Rn-220 in the mantle was released and that 30 % of the radium was volatilized when the mantles were ignited. The thorium-containing incandescent mantle was invented in 1884 by Carl Auer von Welsbach, an Austrian chemist, and it is sometimes referred to as a “Welsbach mantle” or “Auerlicht.” This invention resulted in the first commercial use of the element thorium. Today, these mantles are generally used in portable lanterns for camping. Some are used in outdoor light fixtures, and some are used indoors, especially in vacation cabins. If Coleman Stove an Lantern Fuel or "white" gasoline is not readily available, most oil companies will gladly tell you where to obtail it. TO FILL TANK Tie mantle around groove in burner cap (see drawing). Flat side of mantle should face generator. Distibute folds of mantle evenly at top and cut off suplus string. Burn mantle according to instructions on mantle envelope. ALWAYS USE GENUINE COLEMAN MANTLESAnyone who spends a lot of nights out in the wild or car camping could benefit from adding a lantern mantle to their kit. While more modern equivalents such as headlamps or battery-powered flashlights do essentially the same job, those plumping for lantern mantles do so on account of a number of highly desirable benefits, which you’ll find in the review below. Types of Lantern and Which is Best For our purposes, we will use the term to refer to both pieces of equipment used in unison. Do I Need One? Would-be buyers need to factor in cost, weight, and burn time of gas fuel and added expense of the lantern itself (see below)

I have not seen much quantitative information about the thorium content of the mantles. Nevertheless, NUREG-1717 assumed that a typical mantle contained 250 mg (0.027 uCi) for the purpose of its dose calculations. They noted that some mantles contained up to 400 mg. Luetzelschwab and Googins measured a total of 0.065 uCi in two mantles.Warn your camping companions that your lantern will be hot to the touch and keep kids away from the lantern to avoid burns NUREG-1717 section 3.14.: "any person is exempt from the requirements for a license to the extent that the person receives, possesses, uses, or transfers any quantity of thorium contained in incandescent gas mantles. This exemption was established on March 20, 1947 (12 FR 1855), and has remained essentially unchanged since that time."
