Hello and welcome!

The pressure lamp or a Petromax is a complex technical device, which usually is powered by kerosene or gasoline. In 2005, I've seen for the first time a pressure lamp, as I was looking for a new tent lighting. Because I am interested in technical things, I bought a 500hk Petromax 829b from the "Bundeswehr" . Thus began the misery of it;), now I have collected over 100 pressure lamps, stoves, heaters and other stuff. Through various contacts in forums and meetings I have met many great people in the years that I would certainly never have met otherwise.

Please take a little look insight  my collection pressure operated Petromax  lamps and other liquid-fueled equipment. My main collection area, the lights from the manufacturer "Erich & Graetz," and the copies of such lamps. There are shown the various pressure lamps manufacturers and their models. I hope to convey with these pages, my fun in this hobby can be so much pleasure in browsing:). For questions and suggestions I am happy to help.

I will do my best to translate my german website to english, but it´s not so easy... So be patient
