Britelyte no longer recommends gasoline type fuels. Too bad they are no longer made in Germany as the Chinese have yet to figure out “quality control”. The internet if rife with problems regarding these lanterns. Try Coleman Kerosine.

The name of the company is Britelyt-Petromax. They are the fifth generation of the original Petromax pressure lantern, and have secured 4 U.S. patents that improve the safety, functioning, and brightness of the lantern. They also have a methanol/ethanol/alcohol lantern and stove. They charge no labor when fixing/upgrading your lantern, just parts and shipping. They are a good company, stop splitting hairs.

Petromax does not make Britelyt as there was no company by the name of Petromax. Graetz KG in Germany made many products, including the Petromax lanterns. The relation between Graetz KG and Petromax is the same as between Ford and Mustang. As famous as the Mustang is, no one says Mustang makes it.

A small Florida outfit sells the Hong Kong made Britelyt and has only been around since 1997, not the 1920’s. There is no relation to the Petromax lanterns other than the Britelyt is a direct rip-off.

A little verification of the story before blindly printing anything that comes along will go a long way to improve the credibility of MetaEfficient reviews
