Miners lamps, also known as mining lamps, are essential tools for miners who are working in conditions where light is strongly needed. There are various synonyms for this term, including carbide lamps, safety lamps, and gas lamps. Carbide lamps are used by burning calcium carbide, which produces acetylene gas that is used as a fuel. Safety lamps were introduced to protect miners from the explosion risks of inflammable gas underground. Lastly, gas lamps are used to produce light by burning coal gas or natural gas, which is supplied from the gas main. Regardless of the term used, all of these lamps serve the same purpose of illuminating the underground workspaces of miners.
