Make a Lamp from an Orange in 1 minute.

How to make a simple oil lamp with two standard household items. You will need an orange (fruit) and olive oil. This will enable us to create our own lamp in case of a power outage. No electricity needed and fun to make.

We will show you how the stem of the orange will act as the wick and will actually last 6-8 hours. To add a nice effect use the top of the cut off orange as a shield. You may even get a natural citrus smell as a bonus. Who needs those 20 dollar expensive candles anyway?

Yes it can but Some oils might get you a bad smell

[Dollar Turbo]

I tried it with soya bean oil and it didn't work so I recommend you just use olive oil or vegetable oil

[MsBlessTheFall94]

@HouseholdHacker,

Does it have to be Olive Oil? Or can it be like a different oil, such as Vegetable Oil or any type of cooking oil? :)

[samanchawan1]

"Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a niche within which is a lamp, the lamp is within glass, the glass as if it were a pearly [white] star lit from [the oil of] a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire. Light upon light. Allah guides to His light whom He wills. And Allah presents examples for the people, and Allah is Knowing of all things" Surah Al-Nur verse 35.
