gas lanterns

Gas lanterns are lighting devices that burn flammable gases, such as propane or natural gas, to produce illumination. They typically consist of a chimney or globe to protect the flame, a burner to regulate gas flow, and a wick or nozzle for ignition. When the gas is lit, it creates a steady flame that emits light. These lanterns were historically used for outdoor or street lighting before electric lights became widespread. They are valued today for their ambiance and reliability in outdoor settings, providing a warm, natural glow without electricity.
