Aladdin Lamps MaxBrite 500 Flame Spreader #10000520
The Heart of Your Aladdin Lamp - Universal Fit Solid Brass!
The Aladdin MaxBrite 500 Flame Spreader (also called a "generator" in vintage Aladdin literature) is the critical component at the heart of your lamp's burner system. This precision-engineered, thimble-shaped brass piece sits in the center of your Aladdin burner, surrounded by the round wick, where it vaporizes kerosene to create the brilliant white light that Aladdin lamps are famous for.
Redesigned for Universal Compatibility
Redesigned in Fall 2017, this improved flame spreader now features a universal fit design that works across multiple Aladdin lamp models. The solid brass construction includes two notches on the base for secure, proper positioning in your burner assembly.
Premium Solid Brass Construction
Crafted from solid brass for superior heat conductivity and long-lasting durability, this flame spreader is built to provide years of reliable service. Brass is the ideal material for this critical component because it efficiently transfers heat to vaporize the kerosene fuel, creating the bright, clean-burning light that makes Aladdin lamps legendary.

When to Replace Your Flame Spreader
Flame spreaders can become clogged with carbon deposits over time, reducing light output and causing uneven burning. If your lamp isn't producing its characteristic bright white light, or if the flame is yellow or smoky, a new flame spreader may restore peak performance. Regular replacement ensures optimal light output and efficient fuel consumption.
The Science Behind the Brilliance
The flame spreader is what makes Aladdin lamps unique among kerosene lamps. As the wick draws kerosene up to the flame spreader, the brass component heats the fuel to vaporization temperature. This vaporized fuel then burns with the mantle to create brilliant white light equivalent to a 60-watt electric bulb - far brighter than traditional wick-only kerosene lamps.
