HK500

The Petromax HK500, probably the most famous kerosene lamp in the world, combines an impressive light output of over 400 watts with unique high-intensity technology and an elegant, nostalgic design. The impressive light output of the Petromax lamp is based on a simple but fascinating principle: petroleum is fed under pressure into a gasifier, where it vaporizes. The resulting fuel reacts in the incandescent salt-impregnated mantle and produces a bright, warm light. To ensure that this principle works perfectly, the lamp, which consists of over 200 individual parts, is still assembled by hand in an elaborate process.

An electric version of the Petromax HK500 was developed especially for indoor use, designed as a pendant and table lamp and fitted with an E27 socket.

The electric version retains all the core elements of the original, which is normally operated with kerosene. It is made of brass, while the glass cylinder is made of highly heat-resistant and frosted borosilicate glass. In this way, the nostalgic charm of the well-known kerosene lamp is retained without any compromises. The table lamp has a toggle switch that is seamlessly integrated into the overall design and ensures convenient operation. Whether on your desk, bedside table or in your personal reading corner - the Petromax HK500 electric table lamp is versatile and adds a special touch to any room.
