Victorian gas lamps operated by burning gas, typically coal gas, to produce light. The gas was delivered through a network of pipes from a gasworks facility, where it was produced by heating coal in the absence of air. The gas would flow into the lamp, where it was ignited at the burner, creating a flame that illuminated the glass globe surrounding it. These lamps were commonly used for street lighting and in homes, providing a more reliable light source than earlier oil lamps.
