Did you know what this thing is? Ahh all of you must be familiar with the picture. But have you ever used it at some point of your life? I'll be sharing my experience living almost 13 years of life with the lanterns.
Found this lantern in a corner where we use to through trash. So we picked it up and thought to reconstruct
Earlier before 2010, this is the main source of light to live life during night time. As there was no electricity in our area, this lentern is seen in almost all the houses. But then electricity was provided by the government and from then no one are using the lantern.
In my opinion it has both pros and cons. Most of us know about the pros so let me focus on some cons though they are not such big cons
Firstly, when there was no electricity people tends to adjust with the light of the lantern. But now people changed the way of living, when electricity cuts off , our eye cannot adjust to the darkness.
Also with increase in electronic products, people started much time browsing on web, playing games etc and now they developed eye problems. They cannot see far objects clearly.
My father used to spend most of the time in Fishery and so he thought lantern might help him during night time( electric posts are still not available in some regions).
I'll share with you some pictures of the construction of the lantern.
It got rusts in all the body.
Here are some pictures below
This glass is used to cover the lantern light so it won't get extinguished by the air.
Have you ever used lantern? Please let me know in the comments below.
Thank you
