hurricane lamp

Wind-protected lantern

A hurricane lamp is a lamp with a glass chimney that shields the flame from wind.

The design originated for use in stormy conditions where ordinary candles or oil lamps would blow out.

Modern versions may be electric but retain the protective glass enclosure and traditional shape: hurricane lamps lined the garden path.
