Hurricane Lamp

A hurricane lamp, also known as a storm lantern, is a type of lamp specifically designed to withstand strong winds and rough weather conditions. It typically consists of a tall glass chimney surrounding the flame, which helps protect the flame from being extinguished by gusts of wind. Hurricane lamps are commonly used as emergency lighting during power outages, camping trips, or outdoor events.

Examples:

1. The hurricane lamp glowed brightly in the stormy night, providing a steady source of light.
2. We always keep a hurricane lamp in the basement in case of a power failure.
3. During our camping trip, we relied on the hurricane lamp to illuminate our tent at night.
