I love old oil lamps. I have a couple English duplex lamps that light up the room nicely during power outages. They generate a good amount of heat too.

Yeah, oil lamps are great tools for emergency situations. When the power goes out, flashlights are nice, but might not always work. An oil lamp will never fail you unless it gets physically broken. You can fill an oil lamp with fuel, and leave it for 50 years. Then when you go to light it, it will still work.

Aladdin Lamps are where it's at with kerosene emergency lighting. They put out the same amount of light as a 75 watt light bulb.
