Fragrance Lamps

What are fragrance lamps? A fragrance lamp is a special kind of lamp that is generally used not as much for its ability to light up a room as for its ability to reduce the amount of bacteria and bad smells within a room. Sometimes fragrance oil lamps are also able to impart a kind of pleasing scent to the room. The basic fuel for effusion fragrance lamps is isopropyl alcohol. The catalytic combustion chamber in the top of the lamp absorbs impurities from the air while burning this alcohol. When fragrance lamp oil is added to the mix the smell of that oil can also be filtered into the air. Even after a catalytic fragrance lamp stops running it can continue to reduce the amount of bacteria in the air. For this reason, fragrance lamps used to be widely used as an air purifier in hospitals.

Today, fragrance lamps are more commonly used to remove unwanted smells from a house and to introduce the better smells of the oils that are placed within them. Alexandria fragrance lamps and Lamp Berger fragrance lamps are placed around a home to reduce the smell of pets and to help an area smell more clean. Besides the Alexandria fragrance lamp, wholesale fragrance lamps are available in catalogs, in stores and online and there are plenty of different options for the scent of oil that you want to use, or you can mix and create your own fragrance lamp oil recipe / fragrance lamp fuel recipes.

Make sure when you buy a fragrance lamp that it has the special kind of catalytic combustion chamber on the top of the lamp that makes a fragrance lamp a Lampe Berger style (effusion lamp style) lamp. The combustion chamber design is critical to the effect that the lamp has on reducing the amount of impurity in the air while producing its smell - other kinds of lamps marketed as fragrance lamps might just be perfume burners that do not have the added benefits of reducing the amount of bacteria. Be sure and read the descriptions for the fragrance lamps you are considering buying carefully and make sure that you get fragrance lamps that are capable or performing both tasks at once. Fragrance lamps are a simple and inexpensive way of giving your house a cleaner smell and making it a fresher place to live, so I wish you luck finding the best kind of Lamp Berger fragrance lamps with the best oil recipes for your home.
