The purpose of the gallery is to provide the user with an idea of some of the more common types of lamps. Enough information has been given on this website to identify some of the rarer lamps that may appear on eBay, therefore this site will not list every lamp ever made. However, this gallery will provide enough pictures that most of the lamps suitable for caving can be identified at a glance. Click on the thumbnails provided to view a larger image of the lamps. In addition to some of the most common types of caving lamps, the author of the site may add a few other lamps from time to time, simply in the interest of providing enjoyable display material. There are collectors that have assembled galleries of their own that include rare carbide lamps. Two of which are Miners Cap Lamps and Clickster's Mining Artifacts.
