Petrolux, the oil lamp

Design: Peter Seidelin Jessen, 2007

The Petrolux is a modern appealing compact designed oil lamp spreading cosiness, light and warmth. Petrolux can be used as a hanging lamp or table lamp, in cabin or on deck use.

The lamp is provided with a medium sized circular burner giving an excellent light. On top is a handle that never gets hot while the lamp is lit, because of a rather ingenious smoke bell. So, without burning your fingers you can move the lamp about where ever you wish. Filling the lamp up with oil is so easy. Take the lamp body apart, and you will see how much oil is needed. The opening is so wide making it as easy to fill her up as pouring a glass of milk!

To ensure that Petrolux is a durable and reliable lamp all parts, except the burner have been made of brushed stainless steel. The knob for adjusting the wick is adorned with a DELITE copper badge - our guarantee that you see a quality product before you!

Innovative details:

• The ingenious smoke bell system ensures that the handle never becomes hot. Thus it is possible to move Petrolux from the cabin and outside even when it is lit.

• The ingeniously constructed balanced air-flow system ensures that Petrolux doesn’t blow out in windy weather. It is truly a genuine hurricane lantern.

• The circular burner has been fully integrated in the construction resulting in the classical neat, slim and simple Scandinavian design.

• The circular burner is integrated in the top half of the lamp-stem making the traditional gallery superfluous.

• Petrolux is easy to fill up with lamp oil. You simply unscrew the top half of the lamp-stem.

• For sailors an important detail: A 6mm thread in the bottom makes it possible to mount an eye for fixation of Petrolux when hanging in a cabin in rough weather.

• An O-ring on the bottom edge of Petrolux stem protects the table surface when used as a table lamp or your head when Petrolux is hanging from the ceiling!
