I got my new gas light.
It arrived the day before yesterday. I'm going to mount it right here above the dinette. I can't wait. :B

I was curious how these compare to LED's. I've never seen one of these in use before, I've only seen the coleman propane camping lanterns (and haven't seen one of those in use in years).
I found product page for the lamp that says it's equivalent to a 70W light bulb, in comparison, 12W LED bulb is roughly equivalent to a 75W light bulb. My RV recessed ceiling lights are rated 3W and the main lights are wired so 4 are on at the same time, so I guess this propane light would give around the same amount of illumination.
So it'd take around 1A of battery current to run equivalent LED lighting (i.e. 24 hours = 24 amp-hours of battery drain).
This lamp is rated to burn around 2000 BTU/hour, or around 2 pounds of propane for 24 hours, which is around a half gallon, so a bit more than a dollar's worth of propane to run it for 24 hours.
Not really something I'd be interested in, but it's an interesting product, I didn't know they still sold them.
