Aladdin lamps

Aladdin lamps are traditional oil lamps that originated in the Middle East, traditionally made of metal or glass and fueled by kerosene or oil. They feature a wick that absorbs the fuel and, when lit, produce a steady, adjustable flame providing illumination. Many models include a glass chimney or globe to protect the flame from drafts and help improve combustion. Historically, Aladdin lamps were used for indoor lighting before electric lights became common. Today, they are often appreciated for their vintage aesthetic and are used for decorative purposes, reenactments, or in areas without electricity.
