Although electric lamps are more energy efficient than lamps where the energy is based on fuel combustion, such lamps are still popular and are widely used. Examples are candles and kerosene lamps or oil lamps.

Petroleum lamps or oil lamps include a container for storing a combustible liquid fuel such as petroleum or other petro-based liquid. An opening is provided at an upper part of the container. The opening includes a lid in the center of which a wick is arranged. The inner end of the wall is in contact with the combustible liquid and provides a continuous transport in an upward direction of combustible liquid to the outer end of the wall where the flame burns.

One reason for the popularity of fuel-based lamps is that such fuel-based lamps provide a warm and cozy atmosphere in a room illuminated by such lamps.

However, in addition to being less energy efficient, compared to electric light, fuel-based lamps involve the risk of fire risk and fire risk. The latter is most pronouncedly present to young children playing with the lamp; or to animals, such as cats and dogs, which may inadvertently come too close to the flame of such lamps.

Thus, there is a need for an improved oil lamp or kerosene lamp which provides increased safety, especially with regard to burn risks in children and animals.

It is an object of the present invention to provide such a lamp.
