The Koholmen kerosene lamp was already being produced by Karlskrona Lampfabrik  in the late 1800s, but it wasn't until the 1950s that it gained widespread acceptance. It then faded into obscurity for decades. However, in recent years, it has become more popular than ever. The Koholmen is a small 6'' kerosene lamp that is the perfect alternative to ordinary candles. The Koholmen lamp features an oil chamber in hand-blown glass and a brass burner. The brightness of its 6'' round burner is equivalent to that of approximately six candles.

The oil chamber is available in a variety of different colors. See below under Related Products.

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.
