Kerosene Lamp - Koholmen

The kerosene lamp Koholmen was in Karlskrona Lampfabrik's product range already during the late 1800s, but became really popular first during the the 1950s. It then fell into obscurity for decades. But in recent years it has once again become one of the most popular decoration lights. Koholmen is a small 6''' kerosene lamp that is perfect as an alternative to regular candles. Koholmen has an oil chamber in mouth-blown glass and a brass burner. The brightness of a 6''' round burner is equivalent to the brightness of approximately six candles.

The oil chamber is available in several different colors. See below under Related products.

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!
