OIL LAMPS AND TORCHES

 

Oil lamps and torches have been used for thousands of years; whether to light up a home after dark or ward away insects oil torches and lamps have had a wide range of uses. Nowadays, although we have electric lights and central heating, oil torches and lamps are still a great addition to your outdoor spaces. Whether you’re looking for something to light up your garden at night, light your guests’ way at that special event, or add extra protection from troublesome bugs at your alfresco dinners, oil burners will add that extra special something wherever you decide to place them. Simply choose your style, size and colour and enjoy the warmth and relaxation of a natural flickering flame…

 

Oil lamps can be placed on any flat surface, and are perfect for your garden tables and seating areas. Using Citronella oil is a great way to fend off flying pests such as mosquitoes and wasps, allowing you to have a peaceful dining experience away from insect irritation.  Each is unique in design; they can come in a delightful hand hammered silver or copper, or a contemporary and striking chrome finish. Our Siena lamps also include a wooden outer frame as part of their design to create a more natural, earthy finish. A perfect stocking filler or gift for a loved one, their compact size also makes them ideal presents for the garden lovers in your life.  

 

A great alternative to the traditional oil torches are our Gel Oil Burners. Available in either copper or silver, they have a beautiful hand hammered effect. The large silver can also be bought in a non-hammered finish. Use gel oil to light the gel lamps, as conventional oil won’t burn. Simply fill the container with gel oil, and light with a match for a beautiful flickering flame, and is the perfect addition to any garden table for stunning evening ambient lighting. 

 

Our impressive oil torch range can be used in a variety of situations and locations, and like their oil lamp counterparts are compatible with Citronella oil. Coming with metal poles they can either be staked directly into the ground, or combined with our oil torch bases for use on patios and hard outdoor surfaces. It’s easy to create a magical ambience around your garden with a few oil torches staked around, or why not use them at events on pathways to help guide your guests to where they need to go? They look stunning when grouped together, and what better than the power of a flickering flame to fuel the perfect ambient lighting for your romantic settings?

 

No matter your budget, oil burners are perfect for everyday use as well as those important events. Why not enjoy a quiet evening under the stars surrounded by soft torchlight, either alone with a good book or together with those special friends?

 

Lighting couldn’t be simpler: pour the oil into the reservoir up to about two thirds full, then screw in the wick holder and wick. Pull the wick so that it sits slightly out of the holder and light with a match or lighter. The oil will be drawn up the wick and will fuel the flame for hours of enjoyment and relaxation. Please see each product’s individual page for specifications on burn times and reservoir capacity.
