Oil lamps are indeed nautical , but they burn oil, produce soot, and
lots of heat.
LED lighting is coming of age now and many fixtures can now be

Or if you're handy with a soldering gun, you can make customs systems
pretty easy.

use a good lamp oil , not diesel fuel like Joe uses, and you
will eliminate the soot. Very little heat output.
