Butterfly Model 826/828 Pressurized Kerosene Lantern
The Butterfly pressure lantern is an extremely bright lantern that can light up a very large room. It is as bright as 3-4 100-watt light bulbs (using 500 CP mantles, available). They attain their brightness because they vaporize the kerosene (instead of burning liquid kerosene) and deliver the pressurized kerosene vapor to the mantle. Kerosene has more energy, drop for drop, than propane. Additional energy translates into more light. New lanterns are now being shipped with 3 350 candlepower mantles. 500 candlepower mantles available for $11 per dozen.
