LP gas lights

[jd524]

I'm planning on installing some Humphrey LP gas lights in the house. My house is 6.5 X 14. I'm not sure how many lights I will need. For those of you that use these lights I was curious how many you use for the size of house you have, and what your suggestion would be for a house my size. Thanks.

I would go with 4 (one in each corner), but I like it to be somewhat bright. Have 2 in a 6.5 x 16 and wish we had 4. Might have to add the other 2 before it gets put out this yer.

I have an 8'x16' and I have 3 lights in mine. I placed the 2 on one side about 2' from each end and the single one on the opposite wall somewhat centered. It is really bright in there with all 3 running. Kicks out a ton of heat also.

Im not sure how the Gas lights work, but does anyone know if you can use a dimmer switch on them? Meaning when fishing in shallow water you dont want to have the light come through the holes but would still like to have some light in the house.

No dimmer switch you just turn down the gas valve for less light. They are basically like the old colman lanterns but they are permanently attached and plumbed. The only disadvantage to these is when you move the mantle often gets ruined, but thats an easy cheap fix.

I agree it is an easy fix - but everytime I move my house I spend a couple bucks in mantels

Thanks, that's what I wanted to know. I ordered three of them.

Good luck fishing! Enjoy. I also have 12 volt lites for waking up in the middle of the night. Easier to flip a switch when the rattle reel goes off.
