Calcium carbide lamps have been used (historically in mines) to create light by immersing calcium carbide in water to produce acytelene gas, which burns and creates light. Although they work as lamps, the gas produced by them makes them less safe than oil lamps, and as such they were usually only used in industrial lighting rather than in homes. Electrical lighting is usually safer than either oil or carbide lamps because there is less danger of fire.
