Oil Lamps, Budget Pick
About this collection
Oil lamps at this budget are brass Kerala-style lamps, and the samples run from about 6 to 10 inch. They suit a puja shelf, a desk or a gift, and the height on each piece tells you which fits the space. Each lamp gives its height and metal, so compare them first.
Fill the lamp only to the level the well allows, and trim the wick before each use. After puja, wipe the brass dry and clean any residue with warm water and a little mild soap. Keep the well dry and check the wick holder each month.

Good to know
Is a Kerala-style lamp a good puja piece?
Yes; a brass lamp of this kind is a traditional piece for a puja shelf, and its height shows clearly.
Does a 10 inch lamp suit a desk?
A 10 inch lamp is better on a shelf or a console; on a desk, choose one of the smaller heights so it does not crowd the work.
How should residue be removed from a brass lamp?
Soak the lamp in warm water with a little soap, scrub the well with a soft brush, and dry it fully before the next use.
