Effusion Lamps
What are effusion lamps and how do they work?

The burning fuel releases molecules into the air to capture and destroy odors while dispersing essential oils.
Effusion lamps exchange fragrance for unwanted odors in the air. It operates at approximately 1/3 the temperature of a candle. It draws fragrance up through the wick the the burner. The burner releases fragrance and will saturate a room more quickly and consistently than other fragrance products. It typically takes about 45 minutes to fragrance the average size home. The fragrance burns at approximately 1 oz per hour.

These lamps were used by the medical world for their antibacterial powers in hospitals, health facilities, and mortuaries where hygiene was of utmost importance until the mid 1900’s.
Today they are much more decorative than the original versions used in hospitals. Some are made from hand-blown glass and are very collectible. These lamps are now being used to purify air and eliminate odors in homes, offices, and any other environments that people live and work in.
