Miners safety lamps were traditionally used to provide illumination in coal mines and were designed with an enclosed flame to operate in areas which may contain coal dust or gases. They also became a good way of measuring methane in the mine atmosphere.Today they are often used as marine lanterns or as wall mounted oil lamps in the home. Also referred to as Davy lamps, they are beautifully made and are very wind resistant. These mining lamps are not intended as a safety lamp in real mining situations, but are fully functional for personal use.E.
