Yes! American Gas Lamp Works gas and electric lamps employ well-proven designs and technologies. Gas lighting actually predates electric lighting by several decades, and the Welsbach mantle lighting system has been used the world over for more than a century. You should keep in mind that gas lamps do get hot and should not be placed where they can be touched by children or animals.

Description
The Kronberg outdoor gas lamp, named after the majestic Kronberg Mountain in the Appenzell Alps of Switzerland, symbolizes elegance and grandeur. It is the largest lamp American Gas Lamp Works offers, standing just under 4 feet tall on its elegant scrolled supports. With a combination of scale, detail, and craftsmanship, the Kronberg lamp is an exceptional choice for both magisterial residences and historic streetscapes. Just as Swiss lighting is renowned for its quality and durability, so too is the Kronberg lamp. It is constructed from sand-cast aluminum and includes a certified valve, tempered glass, and a crown with a spike finial.
The Kronberg lamp offers various installation options, including post, wall, and pier mounting. It also can be illuminated with gas or electric options. The lamp’s GasGlow® technology uses LED light fixtures that mimic the look, color, and intensity of natural gas mantle lighting.
Natural gas or propane burners use artificial silk or rayon fabric bags called mantles to create a unique lighting effect. Open Flame Burners are available in a charming variety of shaped flames for those who prefer the original gas lamp look.
The Kronberg lamp can be customized to meet specific needs and preferences. It is ideal for estates, country clubs, restaurants, or historic restorations. The traditional detail inspired by Swiss lighting and the solid construction of the Kronberg lamp makes it a standout piece that adds a touch of sophistication and history to any setting.

Save Money on Reduced Energy.
These LED light fixtures each produce 450 lumens of Warm White light. That usually requires the equivalent of a 40W light bulb, but these LED lights each only consume 4.5W of power, saving you money and time on maintenance costs every day you have this fixture installed.
Solid Quality that is Built to Last.
Our fixtures have been handmade in Pittsburgh, PA for over 60 years. They are built to last with high quality American metal and a great mix of decorative and functional features. All cast metal frames come with a lifetime warranty.
