A kerosene lamp, like a candle, an oil lamp, a gasoline lantern and other light sources of a similar nature produce light by burning a fuel using the oxygen in the atmosphere for combustion. Compared to the white light from the sun or from white LEDs and some electric bulbs, the light from burning sources is more of a yellow color.

How do you get dried up kerosene out of an antique lamp?

If you have an old fashioned wick type kerosene lamp, unscrew the top, pour in the kerosene- (half way is fine, it will burn for hours and hours), light the wick, and then put on the chimney. Adjust the wick down, so it stops smoking. The lamp should not smoke at all, if it does turn the wick down. Hope this helps. We light our house all the time with these!

Does a lamp get brighter if it is nearest to the energy source?

Yes, a lamp will typically appear brighter when it is closer to the energy source. This is because the light intensity decreases as the distance from the source increases. Placing the lamp closer to the energy source allows for more light to reach the lamp and make it appear brighter.
