Standard dimensions for kerosene lamps were established in the mid-19th century and were based on the size of the kerosene burner. Measurements are given in lines and line measurements are counted in 1/12 inch. Thus, 1 line equals 1/12″ (inch). The line number is determined in proportion to the brightness of the lamp and the higher the line number the higher the luminous intensity.

Koholmen is an excellent alternative to ordinary candlesticks. The kerosene lamp was the lighting technology that preceded electric lighting and the dominant light source in Swedish homes until the First World War. Today, kerosene lamps are mainly used as mood lighting as a more efficient alternative to candlesticks of various kinds. A room lit by kerosene lamps is something very special with the warm glow and the beautiful shadows that only a living flame can provide.
