Individual wick height will depend on the lantern. A dead flame should be adjusted for maximum brightness (height) without making smoke. A lantern should warm up for several minutes after lighting before making the final adjustment. For coldblast and hotblast lanterns, again adjust for maximun brightness but at no time should the wick rise above the cone of the flame spreader. Of course, one does not have to always set a lantern at maximum, that depends on the use and your preference.
