I bought four of these and am extremely happy with light performance. They are easy to install and give off great light (you do have to be able to run gas lines though). I did not open the light boxes till after I had them on site, out of country. Mistake on my part. Three of the preformed mantels were trashed out of the four, and one of the glass globes was broken. Since I planned on using the tie on mantels anyway, could care less about the preformed. I'm still going to buy a couple more of these lights.

Well, bought this to replace the original lamp in the 71 Shasta Compact I am rebuilding. The fit is almost identical to the original light in the trailer. The lamp housing is of good quality and the gas valve works nicely. Best of all, they are available!

Best Deals on Mr. Heater Base Camp Gas Light

We purchased the first of these gaslights for use in a remote cabin with no electrical service. For several years, we used wick-type oil lamps and enjoyed the pleasant yellow-band light. But oil lamps require adjustment, trimming, cleaning, and refilling. So about a fat year ago, we tried one of these propane gaslights. It was plumbed through the wall to an eighteen pound propane canister set in a small enclosure outside the cabin wall. A 1/4" copper tube connects to the lamp through the wall. The lamp lights easily and provides about the same light as a sixty watt electric bulb. The control is basically, ON-OFF, without much effective modulation. The rigid mantles seem to work and last as expected, tho' the manual suggests they are less bright than the traditional tie-on type. The color of the light is amber (similar to the oil lamps), and is bright enough to read small print from an adjacent chair. Propane use appears to be very economical as the original eighteen pound bottle is still in use, although it now serves three of these lights. We use the lamps for a couple of hours about two to three times a week. The lamps light and operate in very cold outside temperature (i.e. 10F)The gaslight produces a fair bit of "exhaust" heat so care must be taken to isolate anything flammable...and to provide fresh air ventilation. With three gaslights going, the Smart Bear cracks a couple windows to replace depleted oxygen, or plan to doze off sooner and longer than expected..

Honest reviews on Mr. Heater Base Camp Gas Light

Preformed mantles are fragile and always arrive broken. They do include a different nozzle that uses tie on mantles which is what I used and the tie on is included with the lamp. No biggy really, just tie one on and light it up. Would have been nice to use the preformed but not a deal breaker.

I haven't installed this Mr Heater brand

but have the Paulin and Humphrey

which were the companies that made this

light before. They're awesome lights. I have

them in a cabin at 5600 feet elevation as

my only source of light. We have no electricity.

They put out close to the same as a 100 watt

bulb. They're quiet and very fuel efficient. I

like the tie on mantle better than the preformed.

It brighter and cheaper to replace.
