Ah ok, that’t when photo bucket closed all free accounts trying to force all their users to pay a high price for photo hosting. I will fix the photos when i can find them and upload them to my new hosting place for images.
Thanks very much DBSAR, but don’t go to any unnecessary trouble to do so.
I have a few old oil lanterns which I may try to convert to battery/Led one day, but I’m not very skilled at electronics or even soldering.
I’m reasonably capable at handyman projects to do with my home maintenance, and have replaced and wired up a few light fittings, plugs, switches etc, but that’s about the extent of my electrical experience.
I am also quite interested to see the photos of this now, please post a few.
Yep… I am curious myself. :+1:
The OP images are now fixed 
Thank you, that is downright impressive!!! :+1:
Now that is definitely something I would want to build, particularly since supermarkets here sell these paraffin lanterns in a variety of sizes and colours dirt cheap (equivalent of $3-$4).
DBSAR, thanks so much for posting your photos again - they are really helpful.
I seem to have generated a bit of renewed interest in your post… :) :)
I modified a variant of one of those too, ( an LED version i bought that had the horrible crappy bluish 5mm LEDs, to one that had the look of the real flame model.
See below:
Here is the modded LED one compared to a real kerosene model:

Missed this the first time around. Love it!!
