Petromax HK500/829 oil lamp, chrome plated



The Petromax HK500 is probably the most famous oil lamp in the world. With its impressive light output of over 400 watts, it combines powerful and unique lighting technology with an elegant and nostalgic design. Since its invention in 1910, the Petromax bright light lamp has illuminated every darkness and captivated people.



Reliable and weatherproof light

This robust, bright light lamp not only fascinates nostalgics, globetrotters and outdoor enthusiasts with its brilliant light, but is also used by humanitarian and military organisations. Thanks to the highly heat-resistant borosilicate glass cylinder from Schott, wind and weather cannot damage this reliable light source.



Powerful and unique lighting technology with German manufacturing quality
The excellent light output of the Petromax lamp is due to a simple but fascinating principle: petroleum is introduced under pressure into a carburettor, the resulting fuel evaporates into a layer impregnated with luminous salts to produce a bright, warm light. In order for this principle to work perfectly, the lamp, which consists of more than 200 individual parts, is assembled by hand.
