This Lehman’s Rayo Ellipse Oil Lamp is the elegant tabletop version of the Rayo oil lamp line. The clear ribbed glass font catches light from the wick flame and refracts it across the room — creating both functional illumination and the kind of warm ambient glow that draws the eye even when the rest of the room is well-lit by electric fixtures.
The classic clear chimney with beaded top is the recognizable Rayo design, paired with a silver-plated #1 burner and 3/4 inch wide wick. The lamp holds about 20 fl oz of fuel — enough for many hours of continuous burning between refills. At 13 inches tall by 5 inches diameter and 1 lb, it’s the right size for a dining table centerpiece, bedside nightstand, or kitchen counter.
For households assembling an emergency lighting plan that includes everyday-decor lamps (so the lighting is already in use rather than buried in a closet when the power goes out), the Rayo Ellipse is the right kind of dual-purpose purchase. Use daily as ambient decor lighting; rely on it for emergency power outages without scrambling for an unfamiliar device. Lehman’s catalog standard.
