    Are you having an insect problem there in Germany, Willi? :shock:

    Indoors no need for insect shield. Outdoors , yes you need one.
    Too many insects being attracted from the light in the dark.
    Mantles would not survive 30 minutes.

    Yes, I use my table lamps indoors only and lanterns outside.

    Willi, that insect guard is really nice. Did you make it yourself?

    Yes, the hex metal can easily be cut with a pair of metal scissors.
    The glass globe is from an unleaded1 Coleman lantern.
