Is Lamplight Farms still in business?

Short answer: yes, we are here and the products are still made. The confusion comes from a website that stopped being a website.

The company

Lamplight Farms Inc. started in 1964 and works out of Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. Since 1998 we have been a subsidiary of W.C. Bradley Co., the Columbus, Georgia company whose other consumer brands include the Tiki outdoor torch line and Char-Broil.

Under that ownership our name stayed on two things: indoor oil lamps and the paraffin fuel that goes in them. Torches and citronella sit with Tiki. That split explains most of what follows.

Why people think we closed

Type lamplightfarms.com into a browser and you do not land on us. The address redirects to tikibrand.com, our parent company's torch brand. No storefront under our old name, no product pages, no support section.

To anyone checking whether a brand still exists, a redirect reads exactly like a closure. It is what happens when a company is wound up and its domain gets folded into whoever bought the assets. Nothing here was wound up. The marketing was consolidated under the bigger name, and our site went with it.

Retail is the second reason. We sell through hardware chains and marketplaces now rather than direct, so there is no official page to land on. Search a model number and you get listings, not a manufacturer's site. People read that absence as evidence.

What we still sell

The current range is small and stable:

  • Indoor oil lamps, including the chamber lamp 110, the larger Ellise, and the Farmer's Lantern 52664.
  • Clear liquid paraffin fuel under two names, Ultra-Pure and Medallion, in bottles from 32 oz up to a 100 oz jug.
  • Replacement parts: the 411B and 417B glass chimneys, the 31507 brass burner, and flat cotton wicks in two widths.
  • Pre-packed emergency kits pairing lamps with fuel.

For judging whether a brand is alive, the parts matter more than the lamps. Discontinued products lose their spares long before the lamps leave the shelves. We are still producing chimneys and wicks under their original model numbers, and that is the practical answer to the question.

Are we the company that made your old lamp?

If it carries the Lamplight or Lamplight Farms name, yes, and it dates from 1964 or later. Ownership changed in 1998, but we kept the model numbering, which is why a chimney bought today still fits a lamp bought decades ago.

If there is no Lamplight marking anywhere on it, it is probably not ours. Clear-glass hurricane lamps of that general shape came from many manufacturers and they do not share dimensions. More on telling them apart in our dating guide.

Buying now

With no direct store of ours to buy from, you go through a retailer, and the thing to match on is the model number rather than the picture. Listings for lamps of this type reuse each other's photography constantly. The number in the title is the reliable part.

Every model we currently make is on our front page with its specification, and the fitting dimensions are collected in our parts finder.
