Our Brass Kerosene Lanterns are a reliable source of efficient home lighting. Join with our thousands of satisfied customers and friends and light your home with Vermont Oil Lanterns. 

Long before the invention of electricity, lanterns lit American homes for more than a century with kerosene and oil lanterns.

According to experts rural America and many major cities could be without electricity anytime due to storm blackouts and other natural disasters. Here in Vermont we saw just such a blackout outage from a severe ice storm during the winter before last. Ask the residents of northern Vermont or eastern Canada (Montreal) if they think its silly to be prepared. If you are one of those millions of Americans now planning for alternative lighting, then we strongly recommend that you purchase a minimum of four or more of our high quality Brass Oil Lanterns for your home.

Lamp oil , liquid paraffin, charcoal lighter fluid, kerosene, and citronella oil are currently readily available fuels, sold most anywhere in the United States, which can be safely burned in our Vermont Oil Lanterns. Purchase a few gallons of fuel from your local dealer and store it safely away. Sit back with your family and relax —you are now ready, if and when a power blackout strikes.

A prolonged power blackout could easily last more than a few days. If this happens, battery powered lighting units will begin to fail, and widespread use of candles presents a clear danger. The safety of your family is a high priority and our products are a time-tested part of American history — safe and easy to operate.

In the event that the Power Grid goes down, the family whose home is lit by a Vermont Oil Lamp will look like a family of technological wizards. The neighbors will say, "Why didn’t I think of that?" So you might want to stock a couple of extra lamps just to help out the family next door. After all, survival is about working together and helping our neighbors.

We believe in the old Boy Scout motto, "Be Prepared." Whats wrong with that? Otherwise why do we wear seat belts and have insurance. We can sleep a lot better knowing we are prepared.

What are you going to do if the grid goes down?
