Pressure lamps were devised by John Tilley in 1813. Consequently the name Tilley became the generic name for all these types of lamps. The model shown is a Bialaddin Model 300X. A great and cheap method of light when electricity is not available, they are operated by pressurised paraffin (kerosene) Tilley lamps were used extensively by the Military in World War One and in World War Two.
Carbon filament lamp - just bought three of these babies for use in our outdoor lantern. This is the type of incandescent lamp pioneered in the 19th century. I love them - they emit such a soft, warm light and the filaments are woven in a nice pattern.
