Sounds like the same type of lighting that was used by coal miners. The miners lights were called carbide lights.
I never knew carbide lighting was used in houses.
An old farm a few miles west of us had the gas generator is the yard. Every room in the house, the barn and most outbuildings had the little acetylene gas burners. I don't know how safe those exposed flame lights were(even had one or more in the hay loft), but the barn was still standing many years after the farm and lighting system was abandoned. |
