·Old technology has its advantages. This type of lighting, as well as mechanical watches, would be unaffected by electromagnetic pulse. Good to know that if nuclear Armageddon comes to pass, we’ll still be able to see what time it is in the dark. 🙄

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerSome quick research suggests yes, with the constituents having between five and nine carbon atoms... pentane to nonane.
"Naptha" appears to be a category of petroleum distallates generally consisting of one or more of the above "-anes".
This sort of ambiguity with chemical names is why CAS numbers exist...

·Tilly lamps used to our standard for camping in my younger days, would have been used for about 3 months of the year, kerosene was the fuel and I think the mantle is impregnated with limestone? Correct me if I am wrong.
Have a friend of mine that collects them, must have dozens of them.
