Kerosene Oil Lamp

 Kerosene Oil Lamp

Now come to Kerosene Oil lamp which has killed so many lives including children in Ceylon and India.

Lot in Ceylon have tried to make it safer device but spill of oil leads to bigger fires. We should band this device gradually and introduce a electronic lamp. Many use cellphone as a torch but it needs constant charging which contribute to global warming, let me not discuss that here.

When I travel, I carry a tiny diode head lamp and a diode thumb lamp. In case the plane encounters a massive turbulence (this happened to me twice, one recently).

Richard Quest has a lengthy explanation on this saga. Quest is also an Aviation Correspondent for CNN and extensively covered the story of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which disappeared on 8 March 2014. Quest later wrote the book, The Vanishing of Flight MH370: The True Story of the Hunt for the Missing Malaysian Plane, published by Penguin Random House on 8 March2016.

Most kerosene oil lamps are designed with a chimney, a burner, a collar, wick, a shade, and a shade collar.

Kerosene oil lamps feature chimneys that are quite fragile and must occasionally be replaced
