Waz 4,212 Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 I use a tilly lamp, very good thing for down the kennels etc. If the wife is that bad i'd get yourself an extension lead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Very nice lamp.Its actually a Vapalux lamp, British made, cost about £120 new now and far superior to the Tilley lamp. Will last a lifetime if looked after. Ive got one or two of the earlier ones from the 1940s and 50s and they work just as well as the day they left the factory. Below is a website that sells all spares etc for these lamps and all things paraffin related. http://base-camp.co.uk/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
