It's no WONDER that inventors of the past yearned for a simple solution to lighting their way in the dark. They could also produce a lot of heat and soot that weren't necessarily very pleasant. Lighting all these devices - and keeping them lit - could be quite a chore. If you lived in a big house, you probably needed several candles or lamps. As it gets dark, what do you do for lighting?īack before the invention of modern lighting, you probably would've reached for a candle or an oil lamp. After a quick bath and a hearty supper, you want to relax and enjoy the evening for a bit.


It's almost dusk and you head into the house to get cleaned up after a hard day of work in the fields.
