try buying carbide these days. I have my grandfathers coal mining lamp. It must be 90 years old. If you set the flame to about 3/4 inch the mosquitoes will come and singe their wings off and leave you alone. smile

This sounds like a really cool light. Even simple headlights are $30 so I'll get one when its $39.95.
