A weekday crewmember recommended going to oil lamps for

They stink....your cabin will reek even if you use scented
oil...we have
a collection of both new and antique oil lamps of all
different types
including railroad lamps, an Alladin, and various types of
hurricane
lamps...they all smoke to some extent and they all have an
after
smell...

nonesense!

we used them only when we had power outoages
