Lamp Parts & Accessories
Choosing replacement parts for your ship's lamp
Restoring or maintaining a traditional oil lamp requires matching the exact specifications of the original components. Oil lamps rely on balanced airflow and precise dimensions to burn cleanly without smoking or cracking glass. When selecting a replacement glass chimney, pay close attention to the base diameter and burner size, measured in french lignes ('''). For instance, the E.S. Sørensen Lamp Chimney 15''' Glass uses heat-resistant borosilicate glass designed to withstand high temperatures on open water or inside a living room.
Wicks must match your burner type precisely. Using a roll like the Delite Flat Burner Wick 10''' 20 mm - 10 m Roll ensures a consistent fuel feed and steady flame height. To protect cabin ceilings from heat and soot, mounting a smoke bell such as the Delite Maria Smoke Bell Brass - 62 mm above the lamp is essential. For vessels active at sea, mounting your lamp with stable wall brackets like the E.S. Sørensen Wall Mount Gimbals Polished Lacquered Brass keeps the flame level despite pitch and roll. Decorative elements, such as the E.S. Sørensen Pendulus Lamp Shade Triplex Opal Glass - ø295 mm, soften light distribution while adding classic elegance.

Frequently asked questions about Lamp Parts & Accessories
How do I select the correct replacement glass chimney for my ship's oil lamp?
Measure the outer diameter at the base of your existing chimney or burner fitment in millimetres. Check the burner size specified in lignes ('''). Borosilicate glass chimneys, such as those from E.S. Sørensen, are available in standard sizing like 15''' and 20''' to ensure a proper fit and safe heat management.
What size cotton wick do I need for my marine oil lamp burner?
Wicks are specified by width and burner type, such as round wicks or flat burner wicks measured in millimetres or lignes. Check your burner model's documentation to select the exact width, ensuring smooth fuel capillary action and clean combustion without smoking.
Why should I install gimbals and a smoke bell with my cabin lamp?
Wall-mounted gimbals compensate for vessel movement at sea, keeping the oil reservoir upright and the flame level. A brass or chrome smoke bell mounted above the chimney dissipates heat and prevents soot accumulation on cabin ceilings or domestic interiors.
How should I maintain and clean my oil lamp's glass globe and chimney?
Allow the glass to cool completely before cleaning. Wash chimneys and opalescent globes with warm water and mild dish soap to remove soot residues. Avoid abrasive sponges that could scratch surface coatings or decorative glass motifs. Trim the wick regularly for efficient burning.
