Valuable Petromax Petromax HK500

Description

The Petromax HK500 is probably the most famous kerosene lamp in the world. With its impressive light output of over 400 watts, it combines unique strong light technology with an elegant, nostalgic design. Since its invention in 1910, the Petromax strong light lamp has illuminated every darkness and thus captivated people.
With its bright light, the robust strong light lamp fascinates not only nostalgics, globetrotters and outdoor fans, but is also used by aid organisations and armed forces. Thanks to the highly heat-resistant borosilicate glass cylinder made by Schott, wind and weather cannot harm this reliable light source.
The outstanding light output of the Petromax lamp comes from a simple but fascinating principle: kerosene is fed under pressure into a carburetor, and the fuel that evaporates as a result reacts in a glow plug impregnated with luminous salts to produce a bright, warm light. To ensure that this principle functions perfectly, the lamp, which consists of over 200 individual parts, is still assembled by hand.
