Description

A wind-resistant kerosene lamp. The lower main part of the lamp consists of a round metal fuel reservoir, which is filled with kerosene. In the center, there is a small rotary knob used to adjust the wick up and down.
The middle section of the lamp contains a transparent tunnel-shaped glass chamber that protects the flame from wind. The exterior of the glass is covered with a thin metal wire mesh to protect it from damage and impacts. Above the glass is a metal cap with openings for smoke ventilation and air circulation control. The upper part features a curved wire handle for carrying or hanging the lamp.
