I like the general lighting in this video. You forgot the sexiness factor of the lantern. I want one.

I enjoyed your presentation of the two lights but. I also would like to pick the oil light also 👍

In a limited capacity, the oil lamp will also provide heat as well.

I've always really liked oil lamps simply because making a useable lamp oil isn't too hard if you have some basic knowledge and will, but it's relatively easy to get most places as well, and the ambience of a lamp is simply comforting. Can't beat a protected source of open flame, either, for bushcraft purposes.

Flashlight and oil lantern. If you have to you can render oils and animal fats to use in it. I do have batteries that will last effectively indefinitely though with portable solar charging for flashlights, radios, etc. Fire is a practical heating, cooking, drying, preserving, and sterilizing method, so being able to maintain and transport fire in a weatherproof lantern can be very useful. Turned down low these will last a whole day on one full tank.

I have oil lamps snd lanterns for the winter because they put off about 1800 BTUs of hear and midsize battery led lanterns for spring summer and fall for power outages from severe storms the battery ones are much brighter but Im with you Id choose the oil lantern over the led the light is more alive and natural

I like the oil lamp light because it's easier on my eyes. I see led and I want to shut it off but with fire I want to stare at it. As for in the house I'd have to choose led with small kids.

The oil definitely gives a lovely ambiance.

I think the wick, like in your lamp or one of those old zippo lighters for example isn't supposed to burn, at least not so fast. I think it's the fuel that is carried by the wick that burns. :)

Oil lantern on a chilly night , warm light with a little heat 🍻🍷

I like a oil lantern or lamp - we always had them in our house growing up.

I bought a couple of vintage style edison bulbs. I've been thinking about building a lamp fixture into an empty lantern enclosure and putting a bulb in as an indoor lantern solution. They have a warm, ambient, almost fire-y orange glow to the filament. Not sure if they work with dimmer switches. For the flicker, I might just throw in a moth! 😅

Haha, I've never seen a smaller led lantern! Was it one of your Christmas Tree ornaments? For ambiance, yes the oil light, for practicality when needing to guide your way to the outhouse in the middle of the night I'd go with the led but perhaps one a bit larger. Also, that little lantern can be hooked to your dog's collar at night! Thanks for the laugh. My poor Oil Lantern has been on the back porch for years. I might have to fire it up again.

The LED lamp looks goofy like a toy

What is that little lantern? Can i have a link for it? Thanks

The oil lamp I assume it should be safe for indoors, that's the only type of lamp they had hundreds of years ago, no LED or any other lamp during that times :). Greetings from the woods in Sweden 🇸🇪

😎👍 light... in an emergency both work .. But let's be frank, oil lamps are sexy.. LED functions and produce light, But the flame, is so luring it causes the death of many a bug.. A double bonus factor 🤣

You need a different wick at that temperatures the oil isnt as liquid, this kind of wick can’t suck up the oil fast enough and ends up burning away super fast.

Feuerhand has an LED version.

I'd take the LED all night long, they have leds with warm light about 3k, that Oil lamp burns about a kilowatt hour worth of energy to give you the equivalent light output of a 1 watt rechargeable LED lantern, A rechargeable 1 watt led lantern with two 18650 cells will run about 48 hours between charges and they can be charged with the portable battery packs designed to charge cell phones, just for comparison, you would burn 2 gallons of kerosene for every 1 charge of the LED, Oh an the kerosene lamps stick and they deposit soot on the ceilings when used indoors

I burn oil lamps almost every night, and almost never have to trim my wicks... I think you're using the wrong type of fuel. I use Aladdin Lamp Oil in mine.

Of course we pick the oil lantern. I might use the LED to see to get the oil lantern lit, then stow it away. The LED looks like something I'd give to my grandson.😆
