Non-Electric Task Lighting By Cook Stove

An Aladdin lamp with a glass shade provides non-electric task lighting near my cook stove early in the morning.
Glass shades have a couple advantages over cloth or parchment lamp shades. The first is that they can be easily washed  – an important consideration in the kitchen.
Secondly, if the bottom part of the shade is clear glass (like above) more light is available for reading or working. A lamp with a solid glass or parchment shade doesn’t throw as much light.
Aladdin lamp light is a very harsh, blueish light and reminds me of a halogen lamp. Without the benefit of a shade I find Aladdin lamp light too intense and distracting. Nevertheless an Aladdin lamp is my first choice for everyday non-electric lighting.
