FAQs
What type of gas does the Primus EasyLight Duo use?
The EasyLight Duo is designed to work with standard camping gas canisters. The Duo version specifically fits both threaded (Lindal) and non-threaded canister valves.
Do I need a lighter to start the lantern?
No, the lantern features a built-in Piezo ignition system, allowing you to light it quickly and easily without an external lighter.
How do I attach the mantle?
Before first use, the lantern needs to be mantled. You can find detailed instructions in the product manual or watch a tutorial on the Primus website. It involves carefully placing the mantle over the burner and then burning it in.
Can I adjust the brightness of the light?
Yes, the Primus EasyLight Duo features an adjustable brightness control, allowing you to set the light intensity to suit your needs, from a bright floodlight to a softer ambiance.
What does 'Duo' mean in the product name?
The 'Duo' designation indicates that this lantern is compatible with both threaded (Lindal) gas canister valves and non-threaded canister valves, offering greater versatility.
Is gas included with the lantern?
No, gas canisters are sold separately and are not included with the Primus EasyLight Duo lantern.
How do I clean the glass globe?
Allow the lantern to cool completely. Gently wipe the glass globe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the glass.
Troubleshooting
Lantern does not light with Piezo igniter.
Ensure the gas valve is open and gas is flowing. Check that the Piezo igniter mechanism is properly engaged. If the igniter sparks weakly, the internal component may need replacement.
Flickering or uneven flame.
This could indicate an issue with the mantle. Ensure the mantle is securely attached and has been properly burned in. Check gas flow and adjust if necessary. If the problem persists, the burner assembly may require cleaning or inspection.
Low light output.
Verify that the gas canister is not low on fuel. Ensure the gas valve is fully open. Check that the brightness adjustment is set to the desired level. A dirty or damaged mantle can also reduce light output.
Lantern is noisy during operation.
While the patented burner is designed to be quiet, some minimal operational sound is normal. If the noise is excessive or sounds like rattling, check that all components are securely fastened and that the mantle is intact.
