Product Description

The LabEquip Alcohol Spirit Lamp is designed for small-scale laboratory heating without requiring a piped gas connection. A liquid fuel reservoir feeds a wick, which is lit to produce a steady, localized flame suitable for warming small samples or supporting simple demonstrations.

We have not independently verified the exact reservoir capacity, body material, wick specification, closure design or approved fuel type for this specific listing, and we do not publish invented figures for these. If any of these details matter for your order, please confirm them with our sales team before you buy.

Safety Note

• Fill and light the lamp only in a well-ventilated area, away from other open flames or heat sources.
• Never refill the lamp while it is lit or still hot; allow it to cool fully first.
• Extinguish the flame using the cap or snuffer rather than blowing it out.
• Keep the lamp upright and stable during use to avoid spilling fuel.
