Description
This hurricane lantern takes the shape of a traditional storm lamp, with the curved side frame, vented cap and rounded glass globe of the oil lamps it follows. It runs on batteries and an LED rather than a wick and fuel. Our Spirit of Adventure lantern is finished in a deep teal blue over metal, and its clear glass globe sits inside a criss-cross wire guard. It stands 35.8cm high overall and about 24cm tall without its hanging loop and carrying handle. It is 15.2cm long and 11.5cm wide, and at 0.349KG it is light to move from room to room.
It is made for dry rooms indoors, where it brings a cosy, cabin-like charm to a mantelpiece, a bookshelf, a bedside table or a hallway console. The rotary switch on the front sets the mood. Turn it clockwise to brighten and anticlockwise to dim, up to a maximum of 60 lumens of cool white light. It can be a soft background glow one evening and a brighter light for a board game the next. The carrying handle lets you take it from the sitting room to the bedroom, and the hanging loop on the cap suits a sturdy indoor hook.
The frame and cap are metal, the globe is glass, and the switch and battery housing are plastic. Four AA batteries fit into a compartment under the base, behind a clip-on cover, so there is no oil to buy, spill or smell. To keep it looking its best, dust the metal with a soft dry cloth and wipe the glass with a cloth that is barely damp, keeping water well away from the switch and battery compartment. Set it among books on a shelf, or wrap it up for anyone who loves the look of an old storm lamp.
