This Book Could Save Your
Light in a Blackout!

In this comprehensive and engaging guide, Tim Matson surveys an often-overlooked aspect of independent living—firelight. Beginning with an explanation of the lighting system he developed in his Vermont home, he describes in lively detail all the elements of firelight:

  • The romantic history, modern molding, and mood-lighting of candlepower
  • Traditional kerosene lamps
  • The versatile Aladdin
  • Liquid propane (LP) gas lights
  • Kerosene, paraffin and gas pressure lanterns
  • Incandescent mantle safety
  • The “Return of Firelight” from glass-fronted hearths and stoves

In addition, Matson shows how to select, assemble, install, and maintain safely these non-electric sources of light, and provides a list of reputable sources for finding and purchasing safe indoor and outdoor lighting products. This guide will be indispensable for vacation homes, camps, boats, RVs, independent homesteads—and anywhere in a blackout. Want your YOUR COPY - Click Here
