Description
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 lamp; liquid propane (LP) gaslights; 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 safely maintain 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, and independent homesteads. And, of course, anywhere in a blackout.
