Know before you buy
The MAXbrite burner is designed as a direct replacement for most Aladdin lamps manufactured after 1932. It features a 2-inch outer diameter thread, so we recommend measuring your lamp's gallery threads to ensure compatibility before purchasing.
The burner includes the wick and a wick cleaner, allowing for immediate installation. However, please note that the required R150 mantle is sold separately and must be purchased to achieve the intended light output.
The MAXbrite burner is engineered to provide 15% more illumination than standard Aladdin models. It produces a brilliant, clean white light specifically optimized for use with kerosene fuel.
The nickel finish provides a durable, corrosion-resistant surface that maintains its appearance over time. It is a functional choice that holds up well to the heat and handling associated with regular lamp use.
The burner comes with a dedicated wick cleaner, which is essential for maintaining a clean, even burn. Regularly trimming or cleaning the wick ensures optimal performance and prevents soot buildup.
