This is a Super little lantern but there is a well known problem due to its small size. The wick tube overheads after a short time which causes the flame to grow and flicker badly if not adjusted.
There is a simple solution though. Cut a thin strip of aluminium foil and wind it around the protruding part of the wick tube at the top to increase its thermal mass. This stabilises the flame and it will work well with this modification.
For a more robust result, I added a small piece of brass tube, squashed to shape, to hold the foil in place.
Super Passform
The hole and the gap in the cap bring the hot air directly to the handle. So the handle will get hot and you can not carry it. And it also can not protect the light from strong wind and rain. Btw, the finish of the lamp is quite good.
The lantern is a blast. Very good material and execution. The only exception / downside is a very known behavior of this small lamps. The encasement of the lampwick (the middle part of the burner where the wick raises out) gets to hot. The consequence of this is an unstable or ever growing flame. To counter this take a piece of aluminum foil and wind it around the protuding part of the wicks downpipe. If you do not know what I'm talking about see this webforum: https://www.pelam-forum.de/thread/36748-memory-oil-lampe-oder-alte-laternen-neu-aufgelegt/?pageNo=5 nevertheless this lantern is pure joy.
