A kerosene lamp is a type of lighting device that uses kerosene as a fuel. Invented by the Polish pharmacist Ignacy Łukasiewicz in 1853.
Used for several decades for domestic lighting till electric lamps replaced it.Compared with other oil lamps, they were safe, efficient, and simple to operate. The kerosene fed the wick by capillary action alone. An adjustment knob, the only mechanism needed, controlled the lamp’s brightness by raising or lowering the wick to vary the size of the flame.
