Paraffin- & Oillamps

Before Thomas Edison invented the light bulb in 1879, paraffin lamps were an indispensable part of every home and paraffin lanterns were a must-have on every city street. Today, the paraffin lamp, also known as a kerosene or oil lamp, is no longer as important as it once was. However, paraffin lamps may still have a role to play in modern homes.

Benefits of Paraffin Lamps

Unlike candles, paraffin lamps produce no smoke residue, so you don’t have to worry about the ceiling or walls of your home turning black. They are also less of a fire hazard compared to candles, so they are a great emergency option for blackouts. Moreover, paraffin lamps exude no scent, so they won’t overpower the natural or artificial scent of your home.

Aesthetically, the warm yellow light emanating from the burning wick creates a warm and comforting ambience in homes. Even an unlighted paraffin lantern can lend a vintage touch to the atmosphere. As an added bonus, paraffin lanterns have incredible longevity. With good care, they can actually last decades!
