Description
The Petromax HK500 is arguably the best-known petroleum lamp in the world.
With its impressive light output of over 400 watts it combines unique Starklicht technology with an elegant, nostalgic design.
Since its invention in 1910, the Petromax Starklicht lamp has illuminated every darkness and drawn people into its spell.
Weather-resistant and reliable light
The rugged Starklicht lamp fascinates not only nostalgia enthusiasts, world travelers and outdoor fans, but also sees use by aid organizations and the military.
Thanks to Schott’s high-heat resistant borosilicate glass cylinder, wind and weather cannot harm this reliable light source.
Unique Starklicht technology in German manufacturing quality
The excellent light output of the Petromax lamp comes from a simple, but fascinating principle: petroleum is pumped under pressure into a gasifier, which causes vaporized fuel to react in a mantle impregnated with luminescent salts to produce a bright, warm light.
To ensure this principle works flawlessly, the lamp, consisting of over 200 parts, is still assembled by hand.
For everyone the right accessory: in addition to various reflectors, storage and transport bags there are many other accessories.
Thus the Petromax lamp can be converted into a cooker or a heater.
Thanks to this wide range of high-quality accessories, the lamp can be expanded and equipped individually.
