Hi there, first post!

As a born again camper (I had a bad experience in France 8 years ago, where it rained for 2 weeks and haven't been able to get the missus back in a tent until recently) I have a question about the Lumogaz (Not Plus!).

This was bought 8 years ago, and worked fine with the gas cartridges available at the time. I still would like to use it, but could not seem to get it to fit on the CZ270 and CZ400 plus gas cartridges.

Does anyone know if it is compatible (and I am doing something wrong) or if I have to discard my old friend and buy a new model?

Many thanks in advance!

does it use piercable carts? the modern ones are screw in the old ones use a needle to make a hole in the cart.
the middle size carts are still plentiful C206

theres a picture in my gallery of the 3 types of piercable ones they go rare as hens teeth ,ok at the moment ,rare as hens teeth

takes forever for them to appear though when you change a picture ,the lamp above takes the big versions ,luckily two middle ones also make a big one ,it doesnt work though cutting one in half to make the small one

Is it the Lumogaz 270? We have one of those and it uses 270 or 470 cartridges. Very handy because they have a valve and can be removed before the cartridge runs out for swapping with the stove or for transport.

Otherwise you may have the one that uses the 206 pierceable cartridges as mentioned above.

Or could it be the type that uses the 901 / 904 / 907 refillable cylinders?
If you'd been using it with a small 901, they're not much bigger than CV470s!

Hi all, thanks for the replies.

It is a Lumogaz 270, but not a 'plus'. It says on the box that you can use 270 or 470 cartridges, but the only ones you can get now are 270+ or 470+?

Are these the same then, and/or compatible?

The newer cartridges still use the same valve, so they're compatible still. Not sure why you've not been able to get them to fit though.

Thanks - that's good news! I may have been afraid of trying to force them to fit previously or something. I will have another go at it.

I wonder why the change was made to call all of the new bottles and accessories campinggaz 'plus' if all the fittings are the same?

I think it's just a marketing exercise.
I haven't got any old cartridges to check, unfortunately.

I too have the same lantern and it is sitting in front of me on a CV270+. I do remember being wary the first time I put on the gas as it says 'Easy Clic' and I thought I needed to push it on and it just wouldn't stay put. Then looked at it and realised I needed to screw it on using the blue plastic thing whilst holding the alloy part of the light. Still can't see why it is called Easy Clic, maybe Easy Screw would imply something else lol.

luckily you can get spares for you lamp ,mine (in my gallery) is almost impossible to get parts for even camping gaz didnt realise they brought it out.We needed a spare globe for ours but no camping gaz globes fitted it (its also a lumogaz but from 50ish decades ago).Ours had the common round crack where the old mechanical flint striker used to knock a hole in the mantel with the resulting flame coming out of the hole heating up the globe .
we were lucky a chap at hurricane lamps measured his stock and found a clear coleman one fitted (just) not perfect but useable so when the original globe eventually cracks it will live on
