The Lamps, Lanterns and lighting thread

Walmart has the 64oz bottles of lamp oil for $5.XX. I seem to remember that same size bottle being around $9.00 back when this thread started, but I could be wrong. Thought I'd post in here since we've gained lots of new members since.

Need to get more of that. I am still set on the Aladdin's for the winter and LED's for the summer. I have a friend in upper IL that lost power a month ago or so and used 3 Aladdin's for heat and light for 5 days while they were repairing the lines. He said he would run the wood stove during the day and shut it down and run the Aladdin's at night.

Btw a n LED is the electric equivalent of a check valve , an ac-dc inverter kills them quick because its fluttering them open and shut at 60hz. You could put a big rectifier upstream and that should help.
