HK 500 kerosene high-power lamp

The Petromax HK500 is probably the best-known kerosene lamp in the world. With its impressive light output of over 400 watts, it combines unique high-power light technology with an elegant, nostalgic design. With its bright light, the robust high-power lamp not only fascinates design-loving nostalgics, globetrotters and outdoor fans, but is also used by aid organizations and armed forces around the world. Thanks to the highly heat-resistant borosilicate glass cylinder from Schott, which has always been part of all Petromax lanterns, wind and weather cannot harm this reliable light source.

The excellent light output of the Petromax lamp comes about through a simple but fascinating principle: kerosene is fed into a carburetor under pressure, the evaporating fuel reacts in a mantle impregnated with luminous salts to produce a bright, warm light. To ensure that this principle works perfectly, the lamp, which consists of more than 200 individual parts, is still assembled by hand. The long tradition of the Petromax is based on its high quality and the associated longevity.
