Upgrading your gas lantern to an electric ignition system takes your classic, beautiful gas lantern to a new level of convenience. You’ll now be able to enjoy the ease of simply flicking switch and igniting your gas lantern, all made possible by the black box, which is your electronic control module. To connect it all together and allow the system to work its magic, the black box will need a specialized component, which is the 5-pin wiring harness.
What is a 5-Pin Wiring Harness for a Gas Lantern?
The 5-pin wiring harness is a set of five color-coded wires. They are bundled together into a single plug that connects to the black box control board. Wiring harnesses serve a number of purposes and are most commonly used in the automotive industry, however, this specific 5-pin wiring harness for lanterns have been designed for the unique requirements of a gas lantern ignition system.
How Does a 5-Pin Harness Work in a Gas Lantern Electronic Ignition System?
Each of the wires serves a different purpose and works together to connect the gas lantern to the electronic ignition system. They allow for power and signals to be transmitted from the electrical system it is plugged into to the electronic ignition connected to your lantern. The power and ground wires move electricity into the system to power it up. The spark ignition signal creates the spark that then lights the flame. Then there is a flame sensor signal which communicates with the control board to let it know that the flame is lit. Of course, you always need the gas valve control which opens and closes the gas flow into the lamp as needed.
Why Use an Electronic Ignition on a Gas Lantern?
There are many benefits of using a 5-pin wiring harness for gas lanterns. The first and first element is that it reduces errors and issues with wiring, instead combining all the necessary connections into one simple plug. It works seamlessly with a low-voltage ignition system to increase safety in the connections and during use. Most importantly, it simplifies the entire process of lighting a gas lantern. You get to enjoy the warm flickering flame of a gas lantern with all the steps of lighting it in the traditional way. Instead, just turn on a switch and your gas lantern is lit!
