Nice lamp, resistant to power outages and other blackouts. It may not be perfectly fitted, but for this price it's okay. On the downside, the cap for the kerosene inlet cannot be tightened all the way, the thread skips... I don't know if this is a flaw of this particular item or if they are all like this?
Kerosene lamp in a classic design with an adjustable flame, inspired by traditional US Army lanterns. Constructed from galvanized steel with corrosion protection for enhanced durability.
A wick inside a glass chimney serves as the light source. The chimney safeguards the flame against unfavorable weather conditions. A top-mounted handle ensures ease of transport, while an integrated hanger allows suspension of the lamp.

A great lamp in a classic style! The Mil-Tec 28 cm in olive color not only looks very aesthetic, but is also extremely practical. I use it during camping trips and evenings in the garden—it gives warm, pleasant light and creates a great atmosphere. Despite its simple design, it works reliably, and thanks to its solid build, I feel it will last for years. The olive color goes well with the natural surroundings. I definitely recommend it to anyone who appreciates functionality and classic design!

Simple, lightweight and easy to use. Perfect as an emergency light source, but it is worth taking a moment to adjust it so as not to "soot up" the lampshade, as it's harder to clean it than to get it dirty. Don't expect luxurious finish, but the quality is sufficient, especially if you buy it on promotion. Overall, I recommend it. P.S. do not put full trust in the kerosene container's sealing, remember that kerosene is flammable and can easily find its way out.

I recommend it. The lamp is decently made, at an affordable price. It serves its purpose. Smooth flame adjustment. With a smaller flame, it doesn't smoke. I haven't tilted the lamp when filled. Perhaps the stopper would hold, but with this kind of device, you need to be especially careful. The lamp creates a good atmosphere in the room and is a nice decoration when turned off.

It gives beautiful bright light. It is sturdily made. I have already tested it after the last winds when there was no electricity, so there was an opportunity. And it turned out to be easy to use. I can recommend this lamp to everyone—mine is 28 cm and it’s great.

I bought a larger 28 cm lamp, tested it and... I bought another one! For the price, it's worth every penny. It gives quite a lot of light and looks... great. For power outages it's a great solution. Always ready to use. The only drawback is the fuel filling cap, which is a bit hard to screw correctly. But after a little practice, I don’t have any more trouble with it. The lamp is well and carefully made. That’s why it’s worth its price.

Advantages: The 28 cm size shines very nicely. It's also light. Relatively easy to use and clean. Disadvantages: The build quality leaves much to be desired, especially the fuel cap, which is easy to overtighten. Poor accuracy in manufacturing makes some operations that are easy according to the instructions actually difficult—e.g., cleaning the shade. It would be nice to have some kind of little chain to keep the cap attached to the lamp, but that's a luxury of lamps from a previous era, when they were in common use :-D. The price probably dictates the flaws.

The Mil-Tec 28 cm oil lamp works great indoors as a backup light source in case of a power outage. The attractive price makes it even more appealing to buy. I recommend it.

Classic kerosene lamp. The build quality is not top-notch, but in this price range there's nothing to complain about. It lights up and creates a nice atmosphere. Hassle-free operation. All you need is kerosene and matches. It's also worth getting extra wicks. A good alternative when the power goes out. I use the 28 cm lamp for everyday use and the 23 cm one as a decoration.

It does what it's supposed to do. It shines brightly enough to read the ABV on a beer label. Therefore, it's good for both close and further camping. Friends praised the quality, friends praised the looks. Recommended.

Well made, gives nice light which can be adjusted, also very simple to use. Perfect for evening lighting by the grill. Quality to price ratio is OK.

The lamp was bought mainly for decorative reasons. Perfect for a windowsill or shelf as a decoration for someone who likes military items in an old style. I don't know how it works, as I don't plan to light it. Still, the filler cap does not seem particularly tight. I suspect it might leak a bit. There's a spot that's unpainted. Overall, quality is adequate for the price. If you want a real kerosene lamp, you have to buy a real one, e.g. the famous American Diez from the 60s (150 PLN used). Anyway, I recommend it because for a camping or barbecue as atmospheric lighting, it's more than enough, and the minor defects don't matter in that case.

Very good value for money. Surprisingly lightweight lamp. Creates a nice atmosphere on the balcony. Recommended.

Times are still uncertain, so I thought this lamp was an interesting option at a very good price. It is solidly made, easy to use, and looks very aesthetic. It looks great in the room. For outdoor trips, I recommend the olive color.
