hey up! i live down the end of an unlit lane, and was thinking that it'd be something quite unusual to have some gas lighting to add something quite unusual to the entrance to the house...but im haveing difficulty finding anything suitable. anyone have any ideas? next problem would be pluming it in!

Camping lights still use propane/butane. You need to adapt one.

avoid a condensing gas light in that case.

Go to eBay and search for "Bullfinch" There's a small trade in suitable lanterns, either floods or spotlights. The spotlights are those used for sign lighting on motorway rodworks and probably a bit big, but the floods (with a post and a little rain cover added) might suit you.

Why not just go for some ornamental electric lighting off the SON or SOX type as used in street lighting schemes. Try an ornamental lantern on a 5mtr column with an embelishment kit to make it look like a gas light. For a suitable lantern try DW Winsor lighting.

Try Vertitas. They made natural gas lights
