    Should be the Coleman because they nearly always are. It is a rare Tilley that can outshine a 201. ::Neil::

    My other half says the same .
    Have to admit it just had a good extra pumps .
    Funnily enough the 300 X does not show as its taller .
    but the Coleman is a very white light .

    Well, in my book, that just shows the futility of these comparison-type questions. Unless you can do a proper scientific test under standardised conditions with all variables controlled, a proper sample size, a reliable method of measuring light output and analysing the results, there's just no point - other than, of course, the pure joy of lighting a few lanterns and having them running together. There's definitely nothing wrong with that! :thumbup:

    I have to agree the X246B appears to be keeping up and giving a good account of itself.

    200ATM in the tank and so a bit wobbly on it's bottom? :lol:

    Absolutely no point in the comparison type issue .
    I have as a newbie on these struggled with one thing or another on fettling . It was a grand afternoon when all four was up and running and the fact I did it without one going out some sort of leak or pulsing or any other problem was just fantastic .With the kind help of the CPL it was my way of saying I did it.
    Now for that TL10 ????

    Occasionally you get a Tilley that just seems to run exceptionally well for some reason... Personally I'm just pleased if I can get them to give a reasonably white light and hold pressure.

    Thank you Anthony and with the Tilley I get the impression the more you put into it the better what comes out . and to quote Mackburner .
    The simplest solution is usually the correct one.

    I'm sure any one of them would have provided welcomed light AND heat in the Anderson Shelter during a raid! Anyone know what the Paraffin ration was per week back in the war times?
