    Which mantle is the right one for the Tilley PL53
    Is it the same as for an X246.
    In the attached picture I have used one for an FL6, and I think it shines very brightly.

    It's working well.:thumbup:
    Those floodlight mantles are scarce.

    Thanks for your response. I have several boxes of these floodlight mantles.
    My wife is re-sewing them so I can use them in other Tilleys as well.
