    Not long had this H502 Hipolito, and checked it over today. All it needs is the Hood polishing up and a new pricker needle.
    As It needs a needle, I fired it up with just a little pressure and boy it's blinding!
    Pleased with this one! Hipo.jpg

    Yep, the 500cp Hipolito, petromax, geniol and clones can be very bright.

    @JEFF JOHNSON They certainly are, but I keep forgetting about these big 500CP's needing loads of preheat time.....

    A good lantern Johnny ! - they are good albeit a bit noisy and almost too bright for small gardens. You can put a 350 needle and jet in them tho

    @Fireexit1 Cheers, but I'll leave it be, as I have a Butterfly which is easier on the retinas. The Hipolito seems brighter than the Petromax believe it or not!
    The Hipolito will be added to my 'Camping Roster'........
