The Dual Use
This piece works as both an oil lamp and a charcoal incense burner. You do not need two separate items for flame and fragrance. One censer serves both purposes in your prayer space. Browse our incense burner collection for more options.
How to Use It
Fill the burner with a little water, then add light oil on top. Place a wick with wax and light it to use as an oil lamp. For incense, switch to charcoal instead. Pair it with items from our anointing oils collection to complete your worship space.
A great addition to your valuable items. It will carry you into another dimension of meditation and worship. May you always be blessed.
Using Your Hanging Oil Lamp
As an Oil Lamp
Add a small amount of water to the burner first, then pour in a light oil. Olive oil works well and burns cleanly. Place a wick with wax and light it. This lamp pairs well with icons and sacred art to create a meaningful worship space.
To use as an oil burner, you need to first add a little water in the burner and then oil regular oil, light and not heavy oil such as olive oil. Later you add a wick with wax, or another burning piece if you have, and light that.
As an Incense Burner
To use as an incense burner, place charcoal inside the censer. Light the charcoal and add loose incense on top. For more incense tools and supplies, shop our incense supplies.
