    I made my Petromax 883 more user friendly by using the mica from a Primus 1001 and a 1960's Tilley lamp shade.

    At 138mm diameter, the Primus mica is 20mm too small for the shade base

    and it could do with being a little taller

    but it does the job of supporting the Tilley shade

    making the light easier on the eyes.
