How does a Lampe Berger work?
The cap is removed and a wick and stone are inserted into the top of the Lampe. The stone is attached to the wick but it remains above the opening while the wick is forced down into the vessel where it is soaked by the oil. The stone is then lit with a lighter for about 2-3 minutes until it is hot enough and catches fire. After the stone is hot enough, the flame will go out but the catalytic stone will burn as long as there is oil in the Lampe. It takes approximately 25-45 minutes to clean, purify, and perfume a 1,000 square foot room.
