The Petromax is probably the best-known high-power lamp in the world. The name Petromax goes back to the councilor of commerce Max Graetz, who invented the lamp at the beginning of the 20th century. Century developed in Germany. His friends called him "Petroleum Maxe", from which the abbreviation Petromax emerged. On November 5th, 1910 the name was protected by law. In the years that followed, the lamp developed into a bestseller par excellence. It was manufactured in millions of pieces and sold all over the world.
The glass cylinder built into the lamp has always been manufactured by Schott. It is a high heat resistant
Borosilicate glass cylinder. Even today, the lamp, which consists of over 200 individual parts that are assembled by hand, still fascinates people. Fishing boats illuminate their nocturnal catch with their impressive light output of 400 watts and globetrotters use their glow to tell stories about their travels.
