A kerosene lamp is a type of lighting device that uses kerosene as fuel. It typically consists of a glass container to hold the kerosene, a wick that draws the fuel up, and a flame that provides light when the wick is lit. Kerosene lamps have been used for centuries, especially in areas without electricity. These lamps are portable and can be used indoors or outdoors. They are often used in camping, during power outages, or in remote locations. Kerosene lamps are considered a reliable source of light, although they require careful handling due to the flammable nature of kerosene.
