Extra wick for oil lamp 10 mm wide 1.9 meters long

This wick fits in most storm lanterns, e.g. Feuerhand

A must have at home as the wick is a consumable item!

It is 10 mm wide and about 1.9 meters long and will last a long time/for many lamps.

Cut the wick into 18-20 cm pieces and screw in when it's time to change.

A wick does not wear out quickly , because it does not burn itself – it is the oil that burns, and the wick acts as a conveyor. Expect a consumption of about 15 cm per 90 burning hours. But keep in mind that in times of crisis, 90 burning hours is not many days if it is during the dark season.

The first time you light a new wick, let it soak up enough lamp oil, at least 15 minutes.

Wicks are often sold in 12 cm pieces and cost 15-20 SEK each. Here you get a lot of wick for the money and decide for yourself how long a wick you want in the lamp.

Tips for making the wick last longer Use clean lamp oil (e.g. paraffin or pure kerosene – not cooking oil!). Keep the wick short , 2–3 mm above the burner head, to reduce soot and wear. Trimmed wick = better light and less smoke. Make sure the oil container is properly filled , so that the wick does not burn dry – this puts a lot of wear and tear on it.
