TallTayl Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 While searching oil lamps, Lampe Berger came up. Just watched this video, which describes how it works. You fill the cute bottle with their alcohol based perfumery, light for just 2 minutes and diffuse for just 20 minutes. Has anyone tried this brand? What did you think?

franu61 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Well, first off, lamp berjay sounds a lot better than what I read as lamb burger, lol! That flame was kinda big and scary, but it really looks interesting. I wonder if it really does what it says? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it only lights for two minutes and then you blow it out. As far as if it works? I’ll know when mine arrives. I just ordered one. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightLight Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I had some for awhile but they are highly flammable. IMHO more dangerous than candle if you tip over fuel. They do have some nice designs for containers. The beginning flame is quite tall fyi, that’s why I’m not a huge fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The saving grace is you light it for 2 minutes, just enough to heat the ceramic top, then blow it out. The retained heat of the ceramic is supposed to continue throwing the fragrance. It’s alcohol based, so should not take much at all to get that scent into the room. I guess it’s a fancy room spray you jet with fire 🔥 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted July 23, 2022 Author Share Posted July 23, 2022 Im still looking to perfect an oil lamp. Fell in love with them decades ago when I received one of these Wolfard styles as a gift. my dream is a scented sunflower oil that burns just as pretty. I have a rock candle too. It’s cool for outside or inside with the right fuel. . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted July 27, 2022 Author Share Posted July 27, 2022 She’s here ❤️ ups delivered to the neighbor, but she found her way home. Packaging. I can see how this would be cute on a retail shelf. The bubble wrap was essential to ship as it was pretty loose in the special box. unboxed. instructions in multiple languages. This is first page set only. filled with maiden voyage fluid. It smelled strongly of isopropyl alcohol on first sniff. It took a few minutes to smell any scent from the bottle. my poor nose. now we wait the 20 mins to prime the wick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted July 27, 2022 Author Share Posted July 27, 2022 Well, I lit it and lived to write about it. A video is uploading to YouTube now. why is it that the little girlie doggo always wants attention when the video camera is rolling? You can hear her breathing as I try desperately to keep her quiet as it filmed. I guess I’ll edit in some music or something 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallTayl Posted July 27, 2022 Author Share Posted July 27, 2022 The video just loaded. I need to re-edit, but here’s what a freebie editing app gave us. best of all, this thing throws a lot of fragrance. My living room is filled with the scent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbrook Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Thanks for posting! The flame is large at first but it calms down after a little bit. Interesting! I might try one myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might try one myself. It only stays lit long enough to heat that stone, 2 minutes max, so completely do-able. As long as the fuel stays inside I’m aok with it. My mind keeps repeating that it is a molitov cocktail so be careful 😂 The stone stays hot for a long time. I removed the crown to replace the cap to “shut it off” after about 20 minutes or so and it was toasty. Up until I capped it that scent was potent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbrook Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Were you able to notice the fragrance for quite a while? Or does it pretty much stop once the cap is put on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightLight Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 The initial lighting is a bit scary. Flame is high. It does throw fragrance though. Different experience from a candle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcbrook Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 So I went the cheap way and found one on Ebay to try out. I was actually impressed with it. I have not tried it in a larger room yet but when I had it in the bedroom I could smell it out in my living room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
