Skeppsholmen is a 10'' kerosene lamp that is perfect as an alternative to regular candles. Skeppsholmen has an oil chamber in mouth-blown glass and a brass burner.
Fill the oil container, almost to the top. Be careful not to fill too much as the oil container might overflow when the burner is put back on. For the lamp to function, it is important for the wick to be completely soaked. Please also read the user manual in the PDF-file above.
Skeppsholmen is also available in a smaller size (Koholmen) and a larger size (Kungsholmen).
Our kerosene lamps are not intended for decorative lighting purposes, but only as a primary light source in spaces lacking modern electrical lighting (such as, for example, holiday cottages, porches and patios).
According to EU directive EN 14059: 2002, traditional round burners, whose dimensions and construction have been the same since the 1870s, no longer meet the safety requirements that should be set to protect children under the age of three from danger, so they must not be used for decorative purposes, but only as functional lighting. Should our lamps - contrary to our intentions - be used for decorative purposes, there is a risk that children under the age of three, by sucking on the wick or drinking from the kerosene, are exposed to life-threatening lung injuries. IF INGESTION OF KEROSENE: Do not induce vomiting. Contact the Poison Information Center or doctor immediately!
Sekelskifte´s lighting range is CE-marked and approved by EU-standard but not UL-certified. We cannot take responsibility for, or deliver lighting outside the EU.
