Argand lamp
1780 (English)
The Argand lamp was a type of oil lamp invented by Aimé Argand. A cylindrical wick and a glass chimney increased the air-flow and steadied the flame. The Argand lamp was therefore much brighter then earlier types, and needed the wick trimming less often, making it well suited for use in theatres.
