Tim Matson surveys an often overlooked aspect of independent living—firelight. In this completely revised and updated classic, Matson describes in lively detail all the elements of firelight—beginning with an explanation of the lighting system he developed from his Vermont home. • The romantic history and modern molding of candlepower • Traditional kerosene lamps • The versatile Aladdin • Liquid propane (LP) gas lights • Kerosene and gas pressure lanterns (the Coleman) • Incandescent mantle safety • The "Return of Firelight" from glass-fronted hearths and stoves In addition, Matson shows how to select, assemble, install, and safely maintain these non-electric sources of light. This guide will be indispensable for vacation homes, camps, boats, RVs, independent homesteads—and anywhere in a blackout.

As soon as we graduate from candles and olive oil to kerosene, the door opens onto the crazy world of bad Internet information about lamp and lantern fuels. Well, not all bad. Probably no more than 50% is silly, misinformed, or dangerous. From the FOREWORD: "Do you know the difference between white gas and white spirits? What about the difference between white spirits and mineral spirits? (Of course, there's always mineral spirits and alcoholic spirits.) How about the difference between mineral oil and mineral spirits? Or coal oil and kerosene? "There's a lot of information that you can find on the internet surrounding these topics. Some is just opinion and some is factual. Some makes me laugh, some makes my head shake in disbelief, and some, at times, makes me sad. "Before publication, this book (as the author notes) was reviewed by two petrochemical engineers, a college physics professor, and a chemical engineer. As it so happens, I am the physics professor in question. But that was my past career. Today I work in the oil and gas industry and have been in the industry for almost 20 years. "I want to assure the reader that the information presented in this book is accurate. The topics, written from a lamp-fuel and lantern-fuel point of view, have been simplified but with full confidence I can state that what is presented is correct. "Please don't burn your house down. Please don't place your family at risk. Please take the time to read these few pages. Please, please, please. READ THE BOOK."

You can see all the books available (so far) in this series by entering "The Non-Electric Lighting Series" in the Amazon search bar above. At this point, we've gone through candles and olive oil lamps and kerosene wick-type lamps and we've arrived at Book 5: Coleman Gas Lanterns. Time to get off the porch and play with the big boys. Pressure lanterns, though not as convenient as throwing a wall switch, will produce light on par with electric. Do you know the difference between Coleman Quick-Lite and Coleman Instant-Lite? You probably should if you're into prepping. It's nice to speak the language. It's nice to go to a flea market and know what you're looking at. Do Coleman Dual Fuel lanterns really burn automobile gas? This book has some first-hand test results. Plus recommendations about what to buy and what to avoid. And this book has an excellent section on carbon monoxide. YouTube has both good info and bad on carbon monoxide. But do you know which is which? Wouldn't it be nice to REALLY understand it? Well, the opportunity is at hand. Welcome aboard.

This book covers wick-type kerosene lamps and lanterns. It's for users, not antique dealers. How can we generate LIGHT? That is the question. Fuel substitutes, safety, operating procedures, maintenance, repair, and various lamp styles are the topics. Things to look for when buying used. Cost effectiveness. Homemade lamps. Candlepower. Those are the subjects discussed. Collector value? Never mentioned. This book covers, of course, the simple flat-wick lamps sold today in every Walmart and Family Dollar. But there's quite a bit more to it than that. As a young adult, I happened to be at my parent's home one evening when a blackout occurred. My mother sent me to check on an elderly woman, a 90-year-old family friend, who lived alone. When she came to the door, I was dazzled by the kerosene lamp she had burning in the living room. Whereas the kerosene lamp my parents kept tucked away for emergencies gave off light on par with a 7-watt nightlight, this woman's lamp was more like a 40-watt light bulb. It was not a Coleman lantern that hissed or needed pumping up. It was merely a wick-fed table lamp that ran on kerosene, a Rayo. I later discovered that Rayos were on the market twenty years before Colemans. The Rayo wick, instead of being flat, was tubular, like a sock. The fire at the top of the wick formed a ring. Light output was striking. When I got home and told my mother about it, she said, "Oh yes. And in England they used to have Duplex lamps. They had two wicks instead of one. That's what they used during the War." Turns out Duplexes were around thirty years before Rayos. What?! How could I get to be so old and yet be so ignorant? This is technology from Grandpa's day. Surely I should be a step ahead of Grandpa, no? Then again, maybe not. Maybe it's time to just back up a step and see what we've forgotten. I think most folks will be surprised.

This book, Candles, is our first adventure in The Non-Electric Lighting Series. The series is aimed at people who want to survive whatever it is that Mother Nature throws at us next - blizzards, blackouts, or Carrington events. This is a series of DIY books (Do It Yourself). And KISS books (Keep It Simple, Stupid). This volume, Candles, is about producing LIGHT. Not aromatherapy. Not ambiance. This book shows you how to make candles; how to improvise candles; how to improvise candleholders. It describes different kinds of wicks and waxes and substitutions. It gives you a leg up, a better-than-even chance of coping when a blackout finds you far from home. But it's equally important to know what NOT to do. YouTube has several videos on emergency candles. Some of those videos are in error and pose huge dangers. And YouTube is not alone. What part of FIRETRUCK don't you understand? This book reveals as much folly and as many hazards as possible.

The availability of electric lighting has changed the lives of people the world over, yet as a major user of electricity it has come under increasing scrutiny in recent years. This scrutiny has focused largely on the environmental consequences, with little consideration of the benefits of lighting. Human Factors in Lighting, Third Edition restores some balance to the discussion by examining the ways in which people interact with lighting. These interactions influence the ability to perform visual tasks; the perception of people, objects, and spaces; human comfort and behavior; as well as human health and safety. It is only by understanding how to use light to achieve these ends that lighting can be provided effectively and efficiently to the benefit of all. See What’s New in the Third Edition: New chapters on the non-image-forming system, lighting for pedestrians, light pollution, and lighting and electricity use Revision of all other chapters to update them to take into account the advances that have been made in our understanding of the effects of light on people over the last decade Integration of the combined effects of light via the visual and non-image-forming systems on performance and perception The book covers both the visual and the non-visual effects of light on people as well as the benefits of lighting and the costs it imposes on the environment. It details the consequences of exposure to lighting or lighting technology and the role of exposure to light on such basic functions of the body as circadian rhythms. The author combines information from many different sources and integrates them into a coherent overview of lighting practice that can be used to develop better lighting solutions at a lower environmental cost.
