hurricane lantern

Windproof oil light

A hurricane lantern is a portable oil lamp with a glass chimney that shields the flame from wind and weather.

The design allows it to stay lit in conditions that would extinguish an open flame.

Hurricane lanterns remain useful during power outages and for outdoor activities: We hung hurricane lanterns on the porch during the storm.
