Product description
The Petromax HK500 is without doubt the most famous kerosene lamp in the world. Thanks to its impressive light output of 400 watts, the lamp combines a unique high-pressure technique with an elegant, nostalgic design.
With its intense light, the robust pressure lamp not only fascinates retro design lovers, globetrotters and outdoor enthusiasts, but it is also used by humanitarian aid organizations and armed forces around the world. Thanks to its borosilicate glass cylinder, manufactured by Schott, it can resist very high temperatures and is thus a reliable source of light that can be used in all weathers.
The excellent light output of the Petromax lamp results from a simple, yet fascinating principle: Under pressure the kerosene is conducted into a carburettor. There the evaporated fuel reacts to the mantle which is impregnated with luminous salt. The result is a bright, warm light. In order for this principle to work flawlessly, more than 200 component parts of the lamp are still assembled by hand. The long Petromax tradition is based on this guarantee of quality and durability.
The legendary HK 500 produces 400 watts approx. (1 Watt = 1.25 CP/HK candle power, Heffner candles). Its height is 40 centimetres approx. (15.75 inch) and its tank capacity is around 1 litre (1.76 pints) around 8 hours burning time).
The Petromax HK 500 is also available as an electric light with a E27 socket (Edison 27). The ideal desk lamp.

Robust and Elegant - Petromax 500 HK Lamp I recently purchased the Petromax 500 HK from Varuste and I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of this product. Firstly, the packaging was nothing short of excellent. The lamp arrived securely, ensuring that there was no damage during transit. Upon opening, I was greeted with the beautiful, gleaming brass of the Petromax 500 HK. The polished brass finish is not only aesthetically pleasing but also feels of high quality, promising durability. The accompanying case is another highlight. It's well-designed with ample extra space to store additional supplies like fuel, wicks, or any other accessories you might need, making it perfect for camping or outdoor adventures where space is at a premium. I haven't had the chance to test the lamp in action yet, but based on the initial inspection, I'm confident it will perform just as admirably as it looks. The build quality, combined with the thoughtful design of the case, speaks volumes about the care put into this product. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase of the Petromax 500 HK. It's a beautiful piece that not only serves a functional purpose but also adds a touch of vintage charm wherever it's used. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable and stylish lantern. Hope this review captures your experience well!
