Hi Jennifer,

At the Tenement Museum we have purchased lights and adapters from Antique Lamp Supply https://www.antiquelampsupply.com/. Often you can find the glass kerosene bases for cheap on Ebay and then you can purchase the electrified adapters and glass chimneys from them.. I'm not sure if this fits your budget or time period but thought I'd pass it along.

All the best,

Hi all,

Our 18th-century historic house museum lacks artificial lighting of any kind, causing an obvious issue during the winter season or evenings when the natural light outside does not suffice. We have temporarily been using modern lamps but are looking for budget-friendly solutions to keep our historic house light inside when it’s dark outside. What have other historic houses done to creatively light their museum while having the central focus remain on the historic structure and period furnishings? 

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!
