Advice on locating new or replacement parts for hurricane lamps.
The beauty and ambiance of hurricane lighting takes us back to a simpler time. Decorative and functional, hurricane lamps were once a primary source of lighting in homes and businesses. Today, however, with the advent of electricity, they are often relegated to the “decorative” category. However, they can still perform their intended job quite admirably and there is nothing wrong with using them, as long as you do so safely. Even those really great old ones passed down in the family can be used. They are definitely handy in the event of a power outage, and cast a warm, soothing glow over a room, as opposed to electric lighting, which can sometimes be a little harsh.
It is fairly easy to locate replacement parts for most hurricane lamps, which is good news—considering how easy it is to crack the chimney, not to mention wicks need periodic replacement.
