Great in case of a power outage. The quality could be a bit higher, but at this price it's not bad. The lamp is rather small. The sticker showing the fuel level could be better placed. Removing the lampshade is a bit difficult. I really like the colours. Now I need to find suitable fuel for the lamp, which turns out not to be so easy (I'm looking for one that won't smoke too much).
Mil-Tec Oil Lamp 23 cm - Olive
Classic oil lamp model with adjustable flame, designed based on lamps used by the US Army. The body is made of galvanised steel covered with an anti-corrosion coating in Olive colour. The lampshade is made of heat-resistant glass and secured with steel wires. The glass cover effectively protects the flame from wind and rain. The lampshade can be easily removed and cleaned. An excellent choice for camping trips and relaxing in the garden. It works great as a reliable source of light during power outages or other emergencies. The light emitted has a pleasant, warm colour.
Wick, Fuel tank
The wick inside the shade (included in the set) generates light. The fuel tank is equipped with a screw cap with a seal to ensure tightness. A handle is located at the top for convenient carrying or hanging.
The model works with wicks with a maximum width of 12 mm and a thickness of 4 mm.

Traditional paraffin lamp. Medium-quality workmanship, but as a backup light source it works perfectly. Easy to use. It's worth buying spare wicks and paraffin.
-
Classic oil lamp. Average quality, but ideal as an additional light source. Simple to use. Worth buying spare wicks and oil.
-
It will be useful for me during power outages as an alternative to torches or candles, especially outdoors. Almost everyone has something at home that can be used as fuel for this lamp. I even tested the cheapest universal solvent and the lamp worked, although it did smoke a little. In these times it’s good to have a lamp like this at home.

Great lamp for emergencies, brings back memories of old times. There are modern LED lamps, of course, but the traditional model always does the job and it costs little. Just buy some paraffin oil and you’re good to go. Definitely recommended.

The lamp fully meets my expectations. I use it during night fishing trips. Good quality for a low price. I sincerely recommend it to fishing and camping enthusiasts.

The Mil-Tec 23 cm oil lamp - Olive is well made, with no leaks, which is not always the case with similar lamps. It’s great for camping. Works both indoors and outdoors. Excellent quality for the price. Highly recommended.

I bought it as a gift for a friend and it was a great choice. Excellent quality for such a low price. I plan to buy a second one – this time for myself :)
-
Lamp purchased as a backup light source in case of a power failure, as well as for atmospheric evenings at the allotment. The first time I used it, I noticed that the paint near the wick was a bit worn off. The finishing is not top quality, my piece is a bit crookedly welded, but it doesn’t get in the way of use. I wouldn’t recommend it as a decoration, as that wasn’t my intention. Still recommended.
-
I chose it as a gift and it was a great choice. Surprisingly good build quality for this price. I’ll definitely buy it again, this time to keep for myself :)

Lamps inspired by the US Army design with adjustable flame. Made of galvanised, anti-corrosive steel. Shade made of heat-resistant glass with steel protection. Protects the flame from wind, can be removed and easily cleaned. Mum is very pleased.
-
The oil lamp creates an amazing atmosphere. I use it on summer evenings. The quality isn’t the best, but for such a low price you can’t expect more. It’s mainly for decoration, but will also work in the event of a power cut.
-
I believe that every home, garage or cellar should have such a lamp with a supply of fuel. In these times, it’s good to be prepared. Simple and tried-and-true solutions are the best. The lamp isn’t particularly eye-catching, the mechanism is a bit stiff and the finish is rather cheap, but for this price there’s no point in complaining. The colour is very nice. For now, I have it as a decoration.
-
It gives light and heat. Great choice for long fishing sessions or as a backup in case of a power cut. Oil isn’t cheap, but it’s economical to run – it’s best to buy a 5l can straight away. Highly recommended!

Unfortunately, the lamp is not worth its price, but I bought it as a stylish element with a military vibe. It was too new, so I had to make it look older. It also had a leaking cap – I replaced the seal with one resistant to oils, but the leaking issue was elsewhere, through the sleeve. I fixed it with a soldering iron, now everything works. The thread is weak, and the mechanisms are stiff and require manual adjustment. I bought the lamp only for the military atmosphere – otherwise, I would have chosen an original old lamp.
