You have some really beautiful old oil lamps and great to see them working,plus good info too, I've had a couple of oil lamps for a few years but now i've started to collect more and can't stop lol and like you said a great hobby,
nice antiuqe lamp collection! i love your lamps im hoping to get one like that for my collection :) i only have about 7 antuiqes right now and one antiuqe lamp but i dont know what date it is from :(
Hi I think the Solar lamp is stunning and would prefer that over the Aladdin any day, I don't think you can compare the light of an luminous flame vegetable/lard oil lamp with a lamp that uses a mantle and mention the fuel difference being the reason, ...
an Argand lamp such as a Solar will be significantly brighter than a kerosene lamp with a flat wick for example or equivalent to say a Kerosene lamp with a Kosmos burner, also Argand burner were designed to burn cleanly and without smoke or odour most lamps smell a bit when they are extinguished due to the heat of the burner still producing the vapour until it cools but not during use.
whale oil explosive? The lamp you pick up and call a whale oil lamp has a camphene/burning-fluid burner, hence the longer wick tubes and the necessity of them being angled away from each other to prevent heat from the flame allowing the lamps to overheat, simple whale oil burners are usually one or two tubes, just to say poking out of the top of the collar, the tubes extending somewhat into the fount to help warm and thin the fuel so it wicks better. Nice video, keep it up!
I always have trouble getting my alladin lamp wick trimmed even so that I have an even glow...and yes....I do have the little wick trimmer tool. It always seems like I am getting uneven burning and hot spots
