The biggest danger was accidental fires.
A testable question for homemade lava lamps could be: "How does the type of oil used affect the height of the lava flow in a homemade lava lamp?" This question allows for experimentation by varying the oil types (such as vegetable oil, olive oil, or mineral oil) and measuring the resulting lava flow height, providing quantifiable data for analysis.
oil lamps and torch are like lightbulbs
laser +++ Light-emitting diode Incandescent filament Gas-discharge lamps (inc. flourescent lamps) Oil or gas flame - inc. candles and with or without a mantle Arc-lamp (obsolete) Lime-light (obsolete but the metaphorical use of the name now arises from the original's physical use in theatres) Luminous chemicals such as the synthetic luciferin/luciferase reaction in glow-sticks. Stretching the point a little as they are not luminaires: CRT monitors.
Without electricity, ordinary tasks would require more manual effort and creativity. For lighting, candles or oil lamps could be used, while cooking would rely on gas stoves, wood-fired ovens, or open flames. For communication, handwritten letters or face-to-face conversations would replace electronic devices. Additionally, manual tools and methods would be utilized for chores, such as washing clothes by hand and using a hand-cranked or pedal-powered machine.
Before the light bulb was created, life was heavily reliant on natural light during the day and limited artificial light sources, such as candles, oil lamps, and gas lamps, at night. This restricted activities to daylight hours, impacting work, social interactions, and leisure time. Homes and public spaces were often dimly lit, leading to safety concerns and reduced productivity. The introduction of the light bulb revolutionized daily life, extending usable hours and enhancing overall quality of life.
Before electrical energy, heating and lighting were achieved using fire, candles, oil lamps, and gas lamps. Fireplaces, wood-burning stoves, and oil lamps provided heat, while candles and gas lamps were used for lighting.
Candles, oil lamps, and gas lights mostly.
they stopped using candles, kerosene, oil lamps and fire torches in the late 19th century
They used candles or oil lamps.
The lighting came from the fireplace, rush lamps, oil lamps, tallow candles and the sun.

Candles, torches, oil lamps.
Fire in various forms. Candles, oil lamps, gas lamps, etc.
In the 1850s, people primarily lit their homes with oil lamps or candles. Oil lamps burned various types of oils, such as kerosene or whale oil, which provided a source of light. Candles were made from tallow or beeswax and were often used as a more portable lighting option.
Before the invention of the light bulb, people used candles, oil lamps, gas lamps, and other forms of illumination to light up their surroundings. The light bulb revolutionized the way we illuminate our homes and cities by providing a more efficient and reliable source of light.
LEDs, light bulbs, candles, oil lamps, campfires, etc.
Oil lamps where used. Candles were also used.
