Built to Burn — Safely and Beautifully

Flambeaux gas lamps are designed to burn continuously — that’s how they operate best. For those in coastal or windy areas, we offer optional thermocouple safety systems that shut off the gas if the flame blows out.

We also offer electronic ignition systems, but we recommend them with caution. While convenient, they require more maintenance and don’t always provide the long-term reliability of traditional manual setups. Learn more about ignition systems →
