    Hello all, here I am stuck in my shed again, I don't know how this happens.:-k

    Somewhere along the line I have managed to get 15 fettled and running lamps, that I use in the shed never at the same time, sometimes 3 or 4.
    I have even managed to get 10 lamps going at once and that was fun.:)

    I know for some collectors they have had many more lamps going at the same time and it may not be a big deal, but for me I have set my new record of 15 lamps running in total.:D/

    So today I decided this is the day to light all my 15 lamps that have mantles on them, after alot of pumping I have managed to light the most amount of my lamps in my collection at once.:D

    I would love to see if others members could show photos of their most amount of lamps running at the same time, that would be amazing, wouldn't it.:idea:

    I hope that some members will add photos as well please.
    Anyway here are my photos, enjoy as I have.

    Here is a 360 degree from where I am sitting.

    Well lit for sure. How is your pumping hand after pumping so many lanterns ?

    If I had that many running in my shed I would have my sunglasses and shorts on.

    I must admit I do like getting a few going at the same time. It usually begins with a well balanced 3 to 5 lanterns in the garden, along with a few beers. Then some more get fuelled up and lit. and then some more beer if found and so on.. - well you get the idea :roll:

    That R55 would keep you warm as would the heat from so many lit lamps. I had twin burners and two kero heaters lit in the shed the other morning and it was still chilly.

    @Sedgman It sure was comfortably warm thats for sure.
    The R55 is always my go to heater for the shed nowadays.
    Thanks for the comments to all, it's a shame though as I was hoping to see other members light ups.

    My last attempt at lighting all of the lanterns I had operational got me to 10. I have a few more now, it might be time for another try!
