Petromax HK500 – probably the most famous petroleum lamp in the world
The HK500 petroleum lamp has an impressive light output of over 400 watts. Since its invention in 1910, it has combined unique strong light technology with elegant, nostalgic design.
Reliable lamp for all occasions
With its bright glow, the hard-wearing strong light lamp will not only delight outdoor fans and nostalgics. Aid organisations also rely on the famous HK500 for their operations, because even wind and weather cannot harm the highly heat-resistant borosilicate cylinder from Schott.
The enormous light output of the petroleum lamps is achieved by a simple but effective principle: the petroleum is fed under pressure into a carburettor, where it vaporises and reacts with the glow salts on the mantle. To ensure that this complex system functions perfectly at all times, the HK500 is still assembled by hand.
The right accessories for every HK500
The Petromax lamp can be extended with many accessories. In addition to the classic reflectors and storage options, the lamp can also be used as a cooker or heater. This gives the strong light lamp unimagined application possibilities – whether on the move or in the garden at home.
