I've used oil lamps at night for many years, but just started lighting one in the morning - so peaceful. I never thought to add essential oils! I also read that you get more light from them if they are in front of a white wall, or better yet, placed in a corner at a safe distance. The light reflects. Putting them in front of a mirror helps too - that's why some old-fashioned candle holders have a metal or mirrored background. Thanks for a great video!

I grew up with oil lamps. We lived out in the country and had power outages often, and still do. I keep oil lamps ready to go all the time. My children know to be very careful around them. I can't use kerosene in them because it causes headaches and asthma flareups for me. I went to order some fuel to refill my lamps about a month ago and couldn't find any for less then $20/gallon!😲I couldn't believe it! I hope the price comes back down a little before I run out. I still have at least one of my grandmother's lamps. It's nice to think of my mother and her bothers and sisters gathered around that lamp in the evenings with their school books while my grandmother sat in the corner sewing or reading her Bible to them.

I love oil lamps! They are very calming. I would like to add a safety tip although you supplied many. After you wash and dry the rag you used to clean the lamps it should be stored in a tin or glass jar with a metal lid to prevent spontaneous combustion. I know it doesn't happen often but it can. My dad taught me that all oily rags or cloth should be stored that way. I have a friend that had rags they didn't store in a tin and it did spontaneously combust. They were fortunate, because they were there at the time so there was no problem, but it could burn a persons house down easily. So get a cute tin or jar to keep it in.

. I grew up in the country but now live in a city . I miss it so , but now I will recreate the feeling by getting oil lamps that are smokeless . Because of your video my life is going to be sweeter. I am very grateful I found you...

Wonderful video Tessie! I have not been trimming off my corners so I will be doing that. I also love the idea of adding essential oils
