Now please stop this foolishness!

"foolishness"? it is you who considers a Dietz lantern (by name) to be a
safety item.

A candle lantern throws more light, and stores safely and in less space. Get
them in any camping supply store.

Lehman says it is about as bright as two small candles. So, who do *you*
believe?

** I'm inclined to believe the advertising. My lantern has a big wide wick
and certainly throws more light than your tealight candles. You should stay
away from those 'Partylite' candle sales parties all the girls go to. You
pay twice what the items are worth.

there you have it, folks. doony telling use that believes advertising because
if it weren't so they wouldn't print it.

doony doens't read when it gets dark, it seems.

Yep, there you have it, folks. "doony telling use that believes
advertising"

Reading can be overrated! A person could accidentaly come across a
hideous figure wearing a Speedo just by visiting the wrong sites.

Reading can be overrated!

of course, doony. of course.

but *you* did claim that reading is tantamount to understanding.

Jax, when you post on a subject about which you are knowledgeable, you can
make interesting and informative contributions. Unfortunately, you seem to
have a tendency to post on subjects about which you have no experience.
Have you ever seen a Dietz 'Hurricane' or 'Blizzard' lantern lit? You
couldn't have or you wouldn't make comments like "It is like trying to read
by the light of four birthday candles." You must be thinking about a
smaller Dietz lantern or have only seen examples with badly trimmed wicks.
Certainly it isn't as bright as a Coleman camp lantern, but it less bother
to light and silent while lit so I tend to use it as often as a Coleman and
I have no trouble reading by it if necessary.

Thank you.

yes.

btw, Lehmans compares light output for the various "non-electric" lamps it
sells.
