By the end of the eighteenth century, candles and traditional oil lamps—which had been in use since antiquity—began to be superseded by a new class of oil-burning lamps that, thanks to a series of improvements, provided considerably more light than any previous form of indoor lighting. Plant oils (Europe) or whale oil (United States) fueled these lamps until, by the middle of the nineteenth century, they were gradually replaced by a petroleum derivative called kerosene. Though kerosene lamps remained popular until well into the twentieth century (and in some places until today), by the late nineteenth century they began to be supplanted by gas and electrical lights.

  • Lamp Basics Compiled.Pdf
    Lamp Basics Lost-in-Time Museum Lamp Fuel One of the earliest types of lamp fuel was animal tallow, usually rendered from beef or mutton fat. Normally solid at room temperatures, it had to be heated to stay liquid. Lamp designs began to emerge in the late 1700’s using lighter fluids, which could travel vertically up a wick and produce a brighter, more efficient light. Whale oil, already used in candle making, was found to be an excellent oil for this new type of lamp. As the market grew, prices for whale oil soared. Burning fluid and camphene, two substitutes for whale oil, were used as early as the 1830’s, but were dangerous due to their flammability. Their use became obsolete as kerosene became more affordable. Kerosene, first produced in 1846 by distilling cannel coal, was commonly referred to as ‘coal oil’. The word "Kerosene", a registered trademark in 1854, eventually became a generic name used by all refiners. While safer and cleaner than burning fluids and camphene, it was expensive and not affordable to the everyday consumer. Kerosene distilled from petroleum revolutionized the lamp fuel market. As production methods became more efficient in the 1860’s, this new type of kerosene, which produced a brighter and cleaner light, gradually became the fuel source used by the general populace. An improved distribution network for natural gas and electricity, along with the technological advancements they made possible, led to the end of kerosene as a primary fuel source. Kerosene is now mainly used for residential heating and as an additive for insecticides and aviation fuel.

Tiffany Glass: Painting with Color and Light includes twenty Tiffany Studios leaded glass lamps, five large stained glass windows, hanging shades, and three forgeries modeled after Tiffany’s iconic lamp designs, all from The Neaustadt Collection of Tiffany Glass. For more information about the exhibition and The Neustadt Collection, check out the Woodson Art Museum’s free app and videos on our Youtube Channel. Two exhibitions from the Woodson Art Museum’s glass collection juxtapose the intricate, feminine designs of the Victorian Era with the more modern and restrained aesthetics of the Art Nouveau period. Enduring Beauty: Art Nouveau Glass features bold iridescent glass in sleek undulating forms typical of the decorative, yet utilitarian, turn-of-the-twentieth-century glassware. Victorian Art Glass Baskets also from the Art Museum’s collection, feature bright colors “woven” throughout delicate glass reminiscent of frills on tutus and unfurling flower petals.

Hopper, Dean for Research and Graduate Studies Date ABSTRACT UNDERSTANDING THE ECONOMICS BEHIND OFF-GRID LIGHTING PRODUCTS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES IN KENYA Kristen Radecsky For illumination, many off-grid communities use lighting products such as candles, kerosene-fueled lamps, or dry cell battery-powered lights. Unfortunately, fuel- based and dry cell powered lighting can be expensive, a health hazard and often provides poor quality light. Manufacturers are currently designing rechargeable lighting products using LED technology as an alternative option for lower-income people. I developed a model to analyze the initial and life cycle costs of 19 off-grid lighting products. With the results, I make design recommendations for manufacturers. The analysis is based on product prices, laboratory measurements of product performance, and data about lighting cost and use patterns for small, off-grid businesses in Kenya. The field data were collected by Arne Jacobson, Maina Mumbi, Peter Johnstone and me during 2008. My results indicate that the economics of off-grid lighting using electric lamps depends on the charging mode.
