Fragrance Lamps

In a world where we increasingly value indoor air quality and atmosphere, catalytic lamps have become a symbol of subtle luxury and functionality. Their effectiveness is not only astonishing, but their elegant appearance and a history spanning over a century also draw attention.

They are more than just devices – they are small works of art that purify the space while beautifying it. If you're looking for a way to enjoy fresh, fragrant, and healthier air at home, discover the extraordinary world of catalytic lamps.

A catalytic lamp is an elegant device for purifying and fragrancing indoor air. Invented in the 19th century, it was initially used primarily in hospitals to purify the air from bacteria and viruses. Today, catalytic lamps have become a popular fixture in homes and offices, combining functionality with aesthetics.

Catalytic lamps operate flamelessly and are known for their ability to effectively neutralize unpleasant odors and eliminate harmful microorganisms from the air. By using special fragrance oils, these devices create a pleasant atmosphere while improving air quality.

Are catalytic lamps healthy?

Yes, catalytic lamps are safe for health, provided they are used correctly. The catalytic combustion process does not emit smoke or open flames, and high-quality fragrance oils often contain scents identical to natural ones. This means they not only refresh the air but also do not introduce harmful substances into the home environment.

A catalytic lamp operates on the principle of catalysis, which is the acceleration of a chemical reaction by a catalyst, without the involvement of a flame. During operation, the lamps emit heat, which initiates and sustains the oxidation process of unpleasant odor molecules and microorganisms.

The central element of the lamp is the catalytic stone, which, after being heated for a few minutes, ignites the catalytic process. A wick made of cotton soaks up the fragrance oil, which is then released into the air through the stone. This process ensures the lamp operates effectively and safely.

Most catalytic lamp oils are based on isopropyl alcohol, which acts as a fragrance carrier and simultaneously aids in air purification. This alcohol evaporates during the catalysis process, leaving no toxic residues.

1. Air purification from bacteria, allergens, and mold

Catalytic lamps effectively eliminate microorganisms, allergens, and mold spores from the air. This makes them an ideal solution for people with allergies, children, and anyone who wants to breathe clean air in their home.

2. Odor neutralization, including cigarette smoke and pet odors

Odor neutralization is one of the main advantages of catalytic lamps. These devices excel at tackling cigarette smoke, pet odors, and even kitchen aromas.

Here's a list of odors a lamp can neutralize:

• tobacco smoke
• food odors
• pet odors
• dampness and mustiness
• chemical odors

3. Aroma diffusion and improvement of room atmosphere

The released fragrances, often identical to natural ones, not only neutralize unpleasant smells but also create a pleasant, relaxing atmosphere. High-quality fragrance oils can transform the ambiance of any interior.

While catalytic lamps impress with their elegance and simple form, getting them started might seem a bit mysterious at first glance. In reality, it's an intuitive and quick process that's easy to master. Just a few steps, and you'll be enjoying clean, fragrant air in your surroundings.

1. Fill the reservoir with fragrance oil up to 2/3 of its height.
2. Place the wick with the catalytic stone into the lamp.
3. Wait about 20 minutes for the wick to soak.
4. Light the stone with a match or lighter and wait 2 minutes.
5. Blow out the flame and place the decorative cover.

How long should a catalytic lamp burn?

The recommended operating time for the lamp is 20–30 minutes for every 10 m² of surface area. There's no need for the lamp to burn for a long time — its effectiveness lasts long after the process is complete.

How to extinguish a catalytic lamp?

To extinguish the lamp, simply remove the decorative crown and securely place the metal extinguishing cap over the catalytic stone. This cuts off the air supply and thus ends the catalysis process.

Safe use and maintenance

Below you'll find a few key rules to ensure you use your lamp correctly:

• Never leave a lit lamp unattended.
• Keep oils away from children.
• Clean the catalytic stone every few months.
• Use only original fragrance oils.
