CLEARCRAFT 9cm diameter hand blown glass ball oil candle lamp for use with odourless lamp oil

I haven't actually lit it because it was a gift for someone else, but it's the same as one I had in the past and it worked beautifully.

Have had less than a year and filled up 6 times but now the neck has broken off. It has always been a nightmare to remove and insert the wick in the globe the opening is VERY tight.

Purchased to replace similar which was purchased in Norway. Chose size carefully to fit in stand of my original. Only 5 stars as filling hole is really small so needs a very small funnel to fill which was not included.

I really like it and oil has no scent. The candle has a good flame. Hope to purchase another one.

This is a pretty, clear, glass globe, which comes with a wick. However a bottle of lamp oil has to be bought separately. This oil smells of paraffin. The 'free', toy-like, plastic funnel to fill the globe with oil is not that easy to use; spillage is likely if you do not have ninja eyesight and reflexes. My advice would be to fill the globe outdoors. The wick is inserted into the oil and must be trimmed to the width of just less than a one-pence piece. This was followed carefully and fairly easy to do but on lighting the lamp a heavy odour developed and the room became very close. There is a warning in the accompanying pamphlet about the toxic nature of the oil, especially if the wick is even sucked by a young child. I was sorry that I bought this and will have to find a way to dispose of it safely.
