What is aldiss lamp?

Aldiss lamp is a type of oil lamp that was invented by Englishman, William Aldiss in the early 19th century. The lamp is made up of a brass base with a glass chimney, a wick and a reservoir for holding oil. The design of the lamp is such that it is very efficient and can burn for an extended period of time on a single filling of oil, making it very popular for use in homes, churches, and public spaces. The lamp became so popular that it was exported to other countries and was used in locations around the world. Today, Aldiss lamps are considered collector’s items and are highly sought after by antique collectors and those interested in historical lighting.
