Sanctuary lamps actually date back to ancient Jewish times and the custom followed into the early Christian Church. God ordered that an oil lamp be kept burning constantly before the Jewish tabernacle in the temple.
It is lit to show that Jesus is in the Tabernacle under the aspect of bread.Jesus is the Light, they indicate that he is present.
It is called the Sanctuary Lamp. However, even though red is the most common color used, it is not required and some churches use lamps with other colored glass, or clear glass.
All of the older, pre-Vatican II Catholic Churches had a stone centered in the Altar and this may have housed relics, like street markers on the Hollywood hall or rather walk of Fame, or something similar. The Altars were NOT used to support anything like real burnt offerings. There are incense burners and also Sanctuary Lamps in Churches, the latter sometimes called( from their shape) Torpedo Lamps,but nothing on the altar proper is well, designed to support combustion. Now the post-Vatican II altars are standard. these were nicknamed Flying Wahboards when they first came out. Much lighter construction.
Banker lamps can be purchased at a variety of online shopping sites. They are made in the United States but are shipped to anywhere in the world when ordered.
That depends on what kind of church it is. In most Protestant churches, there is a cross, and there are pews (benches for sitting on) or chairs, an altar (a step at the end of the pastor's platform, where people pray), and a stage for the pastor with a pulpit on it, and sometimes a section of seats, usually behind the preacher, for the choir to sit, and where they stand or sit to sing.

No, only candles of 51%+ beeswax may be used. From the USCCB: "Since the National Conference of Catholic Bishops has never employed the above-noted faculty to permit the use of materials other than wax in the production of candles, the use of such other material either in substitutes for or in imitations of candles is not permitted in the liturgy. Therefore, oil lamps may be used only "in the case of the sanctuary lamp," as indicated above. Candles made of wax are to be used in the celebration of the Mass and other liturgical rites."
The type of lamps that were used were oil lamps, and candle lamps.
LED lamps
Whale oil lamps are lamps from the 1800s that were lit with whale oil. (: Whale oil lamps are lamps from the 1800s lit by whale oil. who ever wrote that sucks
By far the new LED lamps have a longer lifetime than incandescent lamps.
How long is a piece of string? The protestant church is incredibly diverse. For most, the interior is simliar - or the same - as a Roman Cathoic church but with slight differences. There will be, at one end, an altar (called more a communion table, or 'Lord's table' in protestant churches) a communion rail, a pulpit, a lectern from where The Bible is read, pews or seats, and some means of making music - usually an organ. At the other end, near the door, is a font for baptism. These are the basics, but there are variations. For example, in a Methodist Church (and some other protestant denominations), the pulpit is usually the central focal point rather than the communion table, as Methodists regard the Word and teaching through the sermon as more important than the sacrament of Holy Communion. In Baptist churches the font is replaced with a baptistry - a deep well in the floor where baptism by full immersion is practised. In high church Anglicanism the church wil resemble almost exactly a Roman Catholic church with all the basic features with the addition of altar lamps, and an aumbry or tabernacle where the conscecrated bread and wine is stored. Low church Anglicanism will have churches that are more simple and more like methodist churches. Many of the oldest Anglican churches are identical with Roman catholic churches as they were of courses, Roman catholic churches before the split with Rome in the 15th C. But whatever is inside the church building, let's not forget that the Church is actually the people and not the building. In my locality in the UK, we have churches meeting in ancient buildings dating from the 11th century and before, in modern purpose built buildings, in cinemas, schools and even a pub(bar). It's the quality of the worship that matters, and what goes on in a person's heart, than what is inside a man-made building.
