    I am wondering about the availability of vaporiser tubes or if they are the same design as the lanterns?

    If it's an actual search light then you'd best send it to me. O:) :lol:

    On a serious note, yes vapourisers are widely available on ebay. Same as most other Tilley's, you'll need the 7" or 169.

    Sorry Bob , what was the difference other than the "Search light' was mounted on a stand?
    I lost on one a while ago..but was wondering about what would be required, for tubes etc.?

    They could both be had on stands. The searchlight is larger and with a shallow, concave mirror in the back which could be moved for and aft on some examples to allow focussing. The FL6 has a parabolic reflector directly behind the mantle.

    Check the Lamp Reference Gallery for examples of each:-
