I decided to do a light up to celebrate the 4th of July or Independence Day. There is a total of 30 lanterns used for the light up. Cheers, Norman
Lovely light-up Norman. Would that be a Primus 1060 by any chance? (second picture, fifth from the right)
Good effort @Norman a fine show! Out of interest, how long did it take you to light them? The most I've out in one go is 17.
Well if that’s not ‘action’ enough for the Lamp Action Gallery I don’t know what is. @Norman ’Teckguy’ has a much easier time with his stoves. Cheers, John
@Lighthouse You have some good eyes there because it is a Primus 1060. @Jean J There is a Tilley X410 in the lineup. It took around an 1.5 to maybe 2 hours to get them all up and going. To be truthful I was having way too much fun getting them up and running to be accurate about the time. There is an old saying and that saying is, Time flies when your having fun. @presscall It was bloody hot being close to so many mini suns that's for sure. @Lighthouse, @Hanzo, @Andrew T, @WimVe, @Alex Smith, @Jean J, @Gary Waller, @X246A, @presscall Thank you all for your very kind comments. Cheers, Norman
I missed this.... What a great light up, Norman! Beautiful! I did something like this about 10-15 years ago when I still could. Lit up about 10 or 15 at once but I believe it was for Memorial Day and not Independence Day. They can really throw off some heat!
Wow. Starting 30 lanteens and keep them going is certainly some real effort. But the beauty of this seemingly endless line of brightness is impressive.
Well, it looks to me as though you may need a longer veranda there, Norman? That is really quite special and lovely to see!
Thank you gentlemen for your humor and kind words. @podbros I don't need a longer veranda I just need to get off my lazy arse and do some yard work. I need to cleanup all of the dry shrubbery close to the fence so there will be no chance of starting a fire with all my mini suns. The little lady would be non to pleased if I destroyed the fence especially since she truly hates my hobby of collecting lanterns. Cheers, Norman
Watch her closely... there will be one she "seems to like" but just won't comment... Once you find that one lantern she seems to like dump praise on how grand a lantern it is and how much you like it! There are times when this works. Wife didn't go for mine either but she fell in love with the Tilley PL series! It's one of the very few she will leave me light in the house!
