No payment will be required until just before we despatch.

• You will need to obtain 1 x 47kg or 2 x 19kg propane gas cylinders from an LPG stockist which will give continuous burning for 45 minutes or more.  The flame may tend to decline after 45 minutes or so and the cylinders may start to freeze up though the flame will still be significant. You should use 2 x 47kg for events going on an hour or more.
• You will also need to obtain a 400g cylinder of propane with a CGA600 fitting - Bullfinch No 1644 or Rothenberger or other equivalent. Travis Perkins, Screwfix and Plumb Centres and some DIY stores should have these.

The tripod describes a circle area of about 1.32m diameter and the beacon has an extended height of about 2.15m.

The D-Day 80 Beacon is for outdoor use only. Keep the Beacon burner at least 3 metres away from any building, roof, wall, or combustible material including trees and bushes and ensure that people are kept at least 5 metres away from the beacon. Gas cylinders should be at least 3 metres away from the beacon.

The burner and flame are stable in the wind but we would recommend the use of the ground anchor and bolt (supplied) or sandbags (not supplied) (see above)

The beacon needs to be supervised by two competent persons at all times when lit.
