Product Description

Oil lamp chimneys are used to cover and protect the flame of an oil lamp.

This is especially important in outdoor settings or drafty indoor environments. Safety: By containing the flame within the glass chimney, the risk of fire hazards is reduced. It prevents sparks or embers from escaping and causing accidents. Enhanced Light: The shape and design of the chimney can help to concentrate and direct the light produced by the oil lamp, providing better illumination. Aesthetic Appeal: Chimneys often come in decorative designs, adding to the visual appeal of the oil lamp and enhancing the ambiance of the space in which it is used. Overall, oil lamp chimneys play a crucial role in the function, safety, and aesthetics of oil lamps.

Product Highlights

• The most important dimension to consider when measuring for a replacement chimney is the base diameter. The base must fit correctly to insure that the chimney is held snuggly by the burner or gallery and will not fall when moved or jostled.
• With the help of a glass chimney, kerosene lamp burners are able to draw the oxygen they require for combustion through perforations below the combustion chamber. A well-fitting lamp chimney augments this basic design by facilitating an “updraft” which continues through to the top of the chimney. This updraft helps to cool the metal burner and foster a steady, flicker-free flame.
• This chimney will work with dozens of different styles and sizes of lamp galleries and kerosene lamp burners to preserve the functionality and authenticity of almost any early or modern-day lamp or fixture.
• Please note: Glass Thickness may vary as this is common in the manufacturing process. This will not affect its high quality.
