The Skeppsholmen is a 10'' 'kerosene lamp that is the perfect alternative to ordinary candles. The Skeppsholmen features an oil chamber in hand-blown glass and a brass burner. The oil chamber is available in a variety of different colors.
Pour the oil into the font until it is almost at the top. Avoid filling the font completely as the oil may overflow when the burner sleeve is put back on. For the lamp to function properly, the wick must be completely soaked in the lamp oil. Please also read the user manual in the PDF file above.
The Skeppsholmen is also available in a smaller size (Koholmen) as well as a larger version (Kungsholmen).
Our kerosene lamps are not intended for decorative lighting purposes, but rather 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 remained unchanged since the 1870s, no longer meet the safety requirements to protect children under the age of three from danger. Therefore, they must not be used for decorative purposes, but only as functional lighting. Should our lamps - contrary to our intentions - be used for decorative lighting purposes, there is a risk that children under the age of three may be exposed to life-threatening lung injuries after sucking on the wick or drinking the lamp oil. IF LAMP OIL IS SWALLOWED, do not induce vomiting. Contact the Poison Control Center or a 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.
