    Coin collectors are Numismatics (or something like that)

    Stamp collectors are Philatelists

    Much as my wife would class me as being a "saddo" are we Lanternists, paraffinologists, Lampologers or what?
    Any suggestions?

    Well if we stick to Latin, then it could be something like Lucernatists.

    I think my wife agrees with your wife. :)

    Maybe there should be another forum for Lamp "widows" (and widowers)

    I do like "lampologist" but then I do tinker with stoves as well so "paraffinology" probably covers it.

    Pressure Paraffinologist with a slight wicky tendency.

    But then I enjoy wood burning as well, but I think Scouter covers that.
