kerosene lamp
Wick-fed illumination
A kerosene lamp is a lamp that burns kerosene to produce light, typically with a wick that draws fuel from a reservoir and a glass chimney that protects the flame and improves airflow.
Before electric lighting became widespread, kerosene lamps were standard household fixtures: The cabin was lit by a single kerosene lamp.
