WEEMS & PLATHYacht Oil Lamp (Brass)

Very Elegant addition to our boat. We were pleasantly surprised at the high quality and workmanship.We paid more than your generic lamp, but well worth it.

The media could not be loaded.  Let you know when I get product that is not broken.I will adjust if I get one that's not broken poor packaging amazon.Waiting for replacement.Also missing wick. Received my new one works great everything works

I love these lamps. Third one I've bought.

Really love the look of this. It is a good display piece and a well made lamp with a heavy base. Mine came with the gimbal (and a boat), I would not want it without that. As other reviewers have said, it is not bright.Mine also came with a catalytic converter and due to the small flame it has little to no oil smell.30 hours on 5oz of fuel !?! Who can beat that? It may make a good anchor light or night light, you may love that, I get headaches easily with any flame burning and plan to put it in the forward berth so I probably won't leave it burning all night. Lighting and extinguishing also mean having to unscrew the burner from the base.I got a Den Hann Boat Mini Trawler Oil Lamp from my step dad that he used sailing around the world back in the 1980's, it has a round wick that makes it way, way brighter. Air flows up the middle, making it more efficient and brighter than you may imagine, it is a little more expensive than this though. I'm not sure I would ever buy a flat wick lamp again.As for this, the output and current price of $140 downgrade this otherwise 5 star lamp to a three star.

I have a pair of these small lamps with gimbals mounted in my boat saloon. They throw off a tad more light as a candle - it has a flat wick of about 1/2" wide - certainly will not create enough light to read (not even close). If you're looking for more than mood lighting, look for a lamp with a round wick. Over the years, my lamps have developed a dull, brass patina and look wonderful - much more durable than other lamps I purchased around the same time that must be brass plated, not solid brass. These little guys have gotten awfully expensive - I think I paid about $75 for mine with gimbals back in the early 1990's.

Even though it is now made in China, it is still a well made product.You can snuff the flame easily without blowing it out, or removing the bottom.My only significant gripe is now it is made in China..but the price of the lamp has not come down accordingly (at all, actually).If you are mounting it on a boat's bulkhead, buy the gimbal mount, not the hanging mount, to prevent damage to your bulkead from the lamp swaying.Buy W+P oil - it is not overly expensive, works well, and is sootless.

Owned for 6 months and it has been a great addition to the boat. No problems. Only negative is that the hook on top will get hot, so be careful when moving the lamp. This is a very high quality product. We use it almost every night we stay on board. Sets a very warm mood in the cabin or on the dinner table. If you are looking for "day light" from this lamp, I would look at others. For what we need, this works great on our 36 foot boat. The W&P Oil/fuel is very clean and efficient.

I wanted to love this product. It's so hefty and shippy. But it sheds very little light. The bars running vertically along the cage block more light than it seems they should. No matter how high I raised the flame, the lamp didn't illuminate the cabin of even my tiny Montgomery 17 sailboat. The search for mellow, gimbaled, oil-based illumination continues . . .
