Illuminating Mantle

Illuminating mantles are a type of lighting fixture that falls under the supply class of Nonelectrical Lighting Fixtures in the supply group of Lighting Fixtures And Lamps.

Illuminating mantles are typically used in camping lanterns or gas lamps. They consist of a fabric or mesh mantle that is impregnated with a chemical compound, such as thorium or yttrium, which emits a bright white light when heated. When the mantle is placed over a gas burner or flame, it glows and produces a steady and efficient source of light.

These mantles are known for their high luminosity and long-lasting performance. They are often used in outdoor activities, such as camping or hiking, where a reliable and portable lighting solution is needed. Illuminating mantles provide a bright and consistent light source, making them ideal for illuminating large areas or providing focused lighting for specific tasks.

When using illuminating mantles, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation and maintenance. Proper care and handling can help prolong the lifespan of the mantle and ensure optimal performance.
