6”’ Cotton round burner wick with good absorption capacity.

Standard dimensions for kerosene lamps were established in the mid-19th century and were based on the size of the kerosene burner. Measurements are given in lines and line measurements are counted in 1/12 inch. Thus, 1 line equals 1/12″ (inch). The line number is determined in proportion to the brightness of the lamp and the higher the line number the higher the luminous intensity.

Burner tubes made of specially tempered and heat-resistant clear glass for our kerosene lamps.

Clear glass. Round burner tube 10”’. Length 200 mm, diameter 40 mm.

Traditional hand molded pillar candle. When the candle mass is hot, the branch candle is molded and shaped by hand. The long burning time and beautiful flame are the result of the right mix of stearin, paraffin, wax and wick yarn.

The kerosene lamp is equipped with a round burner whose design is based on the patent of the Swiss Aimé Argand, where the richly perforated gallery and the airy design of the wick cone allow an abundant supply of oxygen that provides a very efficient combustion that results in a 6-15 times stronger brightness compared to lace wick burners.
