Why would you choose paraffin oil? Paraffin oil is a high quality oil and much cleaner than lamp oil, for example. Due to its quality, the oil lamp's fiberglass wick will not clog and combustion remains complete. Moreover, paraffin oil does not smell or smoke and is therefore perfect for indoor use.* 1 liter of oil has more than 200 burning hours *Please note! The wick must be adjusted correctly. We refer to the brochure that comes with the oil lamp.
