One fill, one long evening

Fill our chamber lamp and it runs about 20 hours. The Ellise, with its bigger reservoir, gets closer to 28. That is what we design for. You fill it once and stop thinking about it, which matters more on the second night of an outage than it does at dinner.

What you get from us

The plain facts behind our range.

☼99% pure paraffinOur Ultra-Pure grade burns without soot, smoke or smell, which is the whole reason it can sit in a bedroom.
✓Nothing to chargeA wick, a reservoir of oil and a match. Our lamps have no cell to go flat in a drawer.
★Making these since 1964We have built lamps and blended lamp oil since 1964, out of Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, and have been part of W.C. Bradley Co. since 1998.
↻We sell the spares tooChimneys, brass burners and cotton wicks are all replaceable, so one of our lamps outlasts a lot of wicks.

Before you order

Four things worth knowing, taken from our own spec sheets.

Start with the lamp

Check how much fuel it holds before you judge the looks. Our chamber lamp 110 holds 11.8 oz and runs about 20 hours. The Ellise holds 19.5 oz and runs about 28. For an outage that lasts a weekend, that is one refill instead of three.

Then the fuel

Ultra-Pure and Medallion are both paraffin we blend for wick-fed lamps. Ultra-Pure is our 99% grade, sootless and odorless, and it is the one to burn in a room you sleep in. It comes clear in five bottle sizes and tinted blue, red or green in the 32 oz bottle, which is a decision about how the lamp looks unlit, not about how it burns.

Parts are where orders go wrong

Our chimneys are sized by the opening at the bottom, not by how tall they are: 411B is 2-5/8 in, 417B is 3 in. Measure the old one before you order. Our parts finder lists every size on one page.

Stocking an outage kit

A lamp with no spare wick is a lamp that works once. Wicks are a consumable, ours included. Keep a 3-pack in the same box as the lamp and the fuel and the kit still works in year three.

Frequently asked questions

What is Lamplight lamp oil?

Liquid paraffin, sold by us under a few names. Ultra-Pure (60009) is our 99% pure grade: sootless, smokeless, odorless, clear in bottles from 18 oz up to a gallon, tinted blue, red or green in the 32 oz bottle, and boxed by the dozen as 60013. Medallion (60005) is our other clear paraffin, and 60003 is our unscented half-gallon. All of them are blended for wick-fed lamps, and none of them is kerosene.

Is Lamplight Farms still in business?

Yes. We were founded in 1964 and have been part of W.C. Bradley Co. since 1998, working out of Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. Lamps, fuel and spare parts are still in production. What no longer exists is our own direct-to-consumer store: the old lamplightfarms.com address now redirects to our parent company's Tiki site, which is why people assume we shut down. The longer version is on our brand status page.

How long will a lamp burn on one fill?

It scales with the reservoir. Our chamber lamp 110 holds 11.8 oz and is rated up to 20 hours. The Ellise holds 19.5 oz and is rated up to 28. Each lamp in our emergency kit holds 5 oz, so around 15 hours. Turn the flame down and every one of those numbers stretches, with less sooting.

Which chimney and wick fit my lamp?

Our chimneys go by the opening at the bottom: 411B has a 2-5/8 in base for chamber lamps, 417B has a 3 in base for the larger flaretop lamps. Flat wicks come in 5/8 in and 3/4 in widths, and there is a 1/8 in round wick for small liquid-fuel table lamps. Our parts finder puts every measurement in one table.

When were Lamplight Farms oil lamps made?

Anything carrying our name dates from 1964 onward, because that is when we started. Packaging marked with W.C. Bradley Co. is 1998 or later. Lamps that look like ours but carry no Lamplight mark are usually generic hurricane lamps from other makers. More on marks and dating in our dating guide.

Are old oil lamps worth any money?

Most are not, ours included. Mass-produced clear-glass hurricane and chamber lamps are common and usually change hands for less than a new one costs. The money sits with named 19th-century makers, colored or cased glass, and complete matching shades. We go through what moves the number in our value guide.

Are oil lamps good for power outages?

That is much of why we still make them. No battery to go flat in storage, fuel that keeps indefinitely, one fill covering a night. The weak point is consumables: keep a spare 3-pack of wicks with the lamp, or a stored kit works exactly once.

Is the flame safe to use indoors?

It is an open flame, so it is as safe as you make it. Stand the lamp on something stable and heat-resistant, keep it clear of drafts, curtains, children and pets, burn only fuel meant for lamps, trim the wick so it does not smoke, and put it out before you leave the room or go to sleep.

Our oil lamps, fuel and parts: how the range fits together

We have been making oil lamps and lamp fuel since 1964, out of Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, and we have belonged to W.C. Bradley Co. since 1998, alongside the Tiki torch line most people know better. That detail matters more than it sounds. We stopped running a storefront of our own, so our range is spread across hardware chains and marketplace listings, and the model numbers are the only reliable way to tell one item from another.

So we collected them here: every lamp, fuel and spare part we currently build, each with its specification and a note on what it pairs with.

Our lamps

Lamplight chamber and hurricane oil lamps

Our chamber lamp, model 110, is the small one: 12 inches tall, a reservoir holding 11.8 oz, rated up to 20 hours on a fill. It takes our 411B chimney and a 5/8 in wick. This is the lamp people buy one of, then come back for three more after the first outage.

The Ellise is our large one, and the numbers show it: 19.5 oz of fuel, up to 28 hours. It uses the wider 3 in flaretop chimney, the 417B, and a 3/4 in wick. If one lamp has to cover a whole evening without attention, get this one.

We build the Farmer's Lantern 52664 for a different job. Black metal frame, caged glass, a 5 oz reservoir, meant to be carried and set down on a workbench or a porch rail rather than a dinner table.

The chamber lamp also leaves our factory boxed in pairs, as the 110 two-pack in a pewter finish, which is the version to buy if the plan is one lamp upstairs and one down.

Our fuel

Lamplight Ultra-Pure liquid paraffin lamp oil

Everything we bottle is liquid paraffin, and none of it is kerosene. Kerosene smells, and in a closed room that ends the conversation. Paraffin is why one of our lamps can sit on a kitchen table without anyone noticing it is lit.

Ultra-Pure is our 99% grade: sootless, smokeless, odorless. The clear oil, 60009, is bottled from 18 oz up to a gallon, so the bottle size is a choice you make on the one page rather than across several listings. The same oil comes tinted blue, red and green in the 32 oz bottle, for a lamp that has to look like something when it is not lit, and boxed by the dozen as 60013 for a church hall or a restaurant. Medallion 60005 is our other clear paraffin, 32 oz, same easy-pour neck, and 60003 is the unscented half-gallon.

One practical point on quantity. A 32 oz bottle fills our chamber lamp roughly two and a half times, so somewhere near 50 hours of light. Enough for most storms, not enough for a season of evening use. That is the reason the same oil goes up to a gallon.

Parts, and where orders go wrong

Lamplight replacement chimneys, burners and wicks

We size our chimneys by the opening at the bottom, not by height, and that is where most wrong orders start. The 411B has a 2-5/8 in base and stands 7.75 in tall, for chamber lamps. The 417B has a 3 in base, stands 8.5 in, flares at the top, and goes on the larger lamps. A tall chimney with the wrong base diameter will not sit, however close the height looks.

Our brass burner 31507 is the large one, fitting bases up to 3 in across, and it takes the 3/4 in wick. If the wick is going too, our burner supplied with a wick saves matching the two. Wicks are a consumable and we make three: 99963 at 3/4 in wide in threes, a 5/8 in wick for the chamber lamps, and a 1/8 in round wick in fives for the small liquid-fuel table lamps.

Measure before you order, or use our parts finder, which lists every base diameter, height and wick width in one table.

Keeping one running

A lamp that smokes usually has too much wick showing. That is not a defect and we get asked about it constantly. Trim the wick flat, light it, then turn it down until the flame stops making black tips. Soot on the inside of the glass has the same cause and wipes off once the chimney is cool.

Replace a wick when it gets too short to reach the fuel, or when the tip goes brittle and carbonized. Neither is a repair job. Loosen the burner, feed a new wick through, and the lamp is thirty years old again.

As emergency lighting

The case for our lamps over a battery lantern is storage. Paraffin does not self-discharge. A bottle bought this year works in five. The LED lantern in the same drawer will have flat cells by then, and rechargeables will be worse.

Our emergency kit pairs two hurricane lamps with two 32 oz bottles. Each lamp holds 5 oz, around 15 hours, so the pair plus the fuel covers several nights. Add a 3-pack of wicks and a box of matches to the same container and it stays a working kit rather than a decorative one.

The usual precautions apply, because it is a live flame: heat-resistant surface, nothing flammable overhead, away from where children and animals move, out before sleep.
