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 Victorian lamp by American Gas Lamp Works is a blend of European heritage and American design, drawing inspiration from classic Victorian street lighting. Standing at 35 inches tall, this gas or electric lamp serves as a transitional piece between large estate lamps and smaller residential-sized lamps. It is particularly well-suited for historic restoration projects.
The lamp is made of sand-cast aluminum. Customers have the option to choose the type of globe, which is available in clear glass, milk glass, or polycarbonate. The top dome can be selected in milk glass or spun aluminum.
In terms of illumination, the Victorian lamp offers multiple options. GasGlow® technology uses LED light fixtures that mimic the look, color, and intensity of natural gas mantle lighting. An electric socket line is also available for LED and traditional light bulbs. Natural gas or propane burners use artificial silk or rayon fabric bags called mantles for a more authentic feel. Open Flame Burners are another option, offering a variety of charming shaped flames.
The Victorian lamp also provides a range of installation options to suit different settings. It can be mounted on a post, wall, or pier, offering flexibility for both residential and commercial spaces. This makes the Victorian lamp not just a source of light, but also a statement piece that enhances any environment by bringing the aesthetic and timeless appeal of Victorian street lighting.

We Can Make This Lamp Electric, Too.
All of our lamps can be built with low maintenance, energy-efficient LEDs. This beautiful Victorian street lighting style lamp can be illuminated by two LED light bulbs configured with an Electric Dual Inverted Candelabra Base. Photocell upgrade options are even available if you want to customize this lamp to meet your needs.
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.
Easy to Install.
Each Victorian street lighting fixture comes with hardware recommendations based on the material you are mounting it on. We also provide fully illustrated instructions that should make it easy to install by your local plumber or certified gas specialist.
