Petromax HK500

The Petromax HK500 is arguably the most famous kerosene lamp in the world. With its impressive light output of over 400 watts, it combines unique high-intensity light technology with an elegant, nostalgic design. Since its invention in 1910, the Petromax high-intensity lamp has illuminated every darkness, captivating people along the way. Weather-resistant and reliable light The robust high-intensity lamp fascinates not only nostalgics, globetrotters, and outdoor enthusiasts but is also used by aid organizations and military forces. Thanks to the high-temperature-resistant borosilicate glass cylinder from Schott, this reliable light source is impervious to wind and weather. Unique high-intensity technology in German craftsmanship The excellent light output of the Petromax lamp is achieved through a simple yet fascinating principle: kerosene is pressurized and directed into a vaporizer, where the evaporating fuel reacts in a glow tube impregnated with luminous salts to produce a bright, warm light. To ensure this principle works flawlessly, the lamp, consisting of over 200 individual parts, is still assembled by hand. The right accessories for everyone In addition to various reflectors, storage, and transport bags, there are many other accessories available. For example, the Petromax lamp can be converted into a stove or heater. Thanks to this wide range of high-quality accessories, the lamp can be individually expanded and equipped.
