FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

What type of oil is FLAMBIOL® Lamp Oil?

FLAMBIOL® lamp oil is a highly pure, dearomatized paraffin oil specially developed for clean and low-odor combustion. It is a hydrocarbon mixture that has been processed to produce hardly any residues or soot. This makes the lamp oil ideal for use in oil lamps, lanterns, or torches. Esszett Luxury stands for quality and reliability – with FLAMBIOL®, you get a branded product that makes your indoor and outdoor lighting atmospheric.

Is lamp oil the same as kerosene?

No, lamp oil and paraffin are not identical. While paraffin is also composed of hydrocarbons, it often contains aromatic components that can produce odor and residue. In contrast, FLAMBIOL® lamp oil from Esszett Luxury is dearomatized during production and burns almost entirely odorless. This makes it ideal for indoor use, but it also remains clean and safe outdoors.

How long does 1 liter of lamp oil burn?
When will my order be shipped and how long will delivery take? Your order will be shipped within 24 hours (Monday to Friday). Delivery to Germany and Austria takes 1-3 business days. Delivery to other European countries takes 3-7 business days. We do not deliver to Switzerland.
Is lamp oil ethanol-based?

No, FLAMBIOL® Lamp Oil does not contain ethanol, but is based on purified, paraffinic hydrocarbons. This ensures a stable flame without the typical disadvantages of ethanol, such as rapid evaporation or uncontrolled burning. Ethanol is more commonly used in burning gel or spirit stoves. For reliable, odorless lighting, FLAMBIOL® Lamp Oil is the better choice.

How do you dispose of lamp oil properly?

Reste von Lampenöl solltest du niemals in den Ausguss oder in den Hausmüll geben. FLAMBIOL® Lampenöl gehört zur Kategorie „Sondermüll“ und muss entsprechend entsorgt werden. Am besten bringst du es in einer verschlossenen Originalflasche zum nächsten Wertstoffhof oder Sammelstelle. So schützt du Umwelt und Grundwasser. 

How long does lamp oil last?

If you store FLAMBIOL® lamp oil in a cool, dry place away from light, it has an almost indefinite shelf life. It is important that the original container always remains tightly closed. This prevents foreign substances or moisture from getting in. With proper storage, you can easily use the lamp oil even after a long period of time.

For which Esszett Luxury products is FLAMBIOL® lamp oil suitable?

FLAMBIOL® lamp oil is, among other things, the ideal complement for the “Burn” and “Fireplace” table fireplaces by Philippi. Both models impress with their modern design featuring glass, aluminum, and river stones. Thanks to clean, odorless combustion, the lamp oil provides a clear flame that leaves neither smoke nor soot. This allows you to create atmospheric evenings in the living room or on the terrace. Esszett Luxury recommends FLAMBIOL® as a safe, versatile fuel.

How safe is it to use lamp oil?

FLAMBIOL® lamp oil meets high quality and safety standards. It is designed to burn cleanly and reliably when used correctly. It is important that you only use the oil in designated lamps, lanterns, or table fireplaces. Pouring it openly or using it for purposes other than intended, such as a grill lighter, is not suitable. When handled correctly, FLAMBIOL® ensures a safe lighting ambiance without risks.

How often should the wick be changed?

The lifespan of your lamp wick largely depends on how often it's used and the quality of the lamp oil you're burning. With regular use and highly purified lamp oil like FLAMBIOL®, you can expect several months of burn time before a replacement is needed. However, a charred or unevenly burned wick should be replaced promptly, as it negatively impacts flame quality.

When operating the lamp, make sure the wick extends only about 5 millimeters above the burner – this prevents excessive soot formation and significantly extends its durability. After long breaks in burning, it's advisable to carefully trim the wick tip and remove any encrustations. This ensures optimal combustion and maximizes the lifespan of your oil lamp. For your garden torches and storm lanterns, you'll find suitable accessories with us for years of enjoyment from atmospheric light.

Tradition meets modern demands

For generations, oil lamps have been creating a special atmosphere in our homes and gardens. This timeless form of lighting combines nostalgic charm with practical use – and does so sustainably. While electric light often appears cold and impersonal, the gentle flame of an oil lamp with high-quality FLAMBIOL® lamp oil creates a sense of comfort and invites you to linger.

At EssZett, you will not only find first-class lamp oil for indoor and outdoor use but also the assurance that traditional craftsmanship and modern quality standards go hand in hand. Our carefully selected products – from classic oil lamps to garden torches – stand for durability and responsible use of resources. The clean combustion without bothersome odors makes every cozy evening by the gentle glow of a flame a small statement for conscious enjoyment. Also discover our kerosene heaters for cozy warmth in the cold season.
