They WERE carried by miners working in underground mines. Methane gas (present in many mines) could be ignited by standard open flame lamps, The Davey Safety Lamp could be used to provide light, but would not ignite methane. Today miners use battery powered lamps that are safe. The new ones use an LED instead of a regular bulb.
