Product Description

A **paraffin lamp head** typically refers to the part of an oil lamp that houses the wick and is used to control the flame. It is often made of metal, glass, or ceramic and is designed to hold the paraffin oil or kerosene that fuels the lamp. The wick, usually made of cotton or similar absorbent material, is placed inside the lamp head, and when lit, it provides illumination by burning the oil that is drawn up through the wick. Here?s a breakdown of its components: 1. **Lamp Chimney**: The glass tube or chimney surrounding the flame, designed to protect the flame from wind and to help regulate airflow for a steady burn. 2. **Wick**: A fabric or braided material that absorbs the paraffin oil and feeds it to the flame. The height of the wick can be adjusted by a turn mechanism to control the size of the flame. 3. **Burner**: The metal part of the lamp head where the wick is placed and adjusted. The burner typically has a metal collar to hold the wick and may include a mechanism for raising and lowering it, adjusting the flame’s intensity. 4. **Reservoir**: This part holds the paraffin oil or kerosene. In the lamp head, the oil is stored in a compartment beneath the wick and feeds it gradually as the lamp is used
