American Gas Lamp Works manufactures and sells the world’s finest natural gas and liquid propane lighting fixtures and accessories, as well as matching electric incandescent and LED fixtures. Whereas nearly all other gas lanterns are made from bent and soldered sheet metal, American Gas Lamp Works lamps are handcrafted from components that are formed by pouring liquid metal into sand-mold patterns. This foundry-casting technique results in sturdy yet beautiful fixtures that will deliver warmth and beauty to your home or outdoor living area for many years.

When ordering a new AGLW lamp and using an open flame burner with Natural Gas, you may add electronic ignition for a $475.00 upcharge per lamp. This requires both Natural Gas and 120V electric be run to each fixture and will allow you to control the flame with a light switch or a timer.

What is an Electronic Ignition for Gas Lamps?
We all love gas lights, but nobody likes a blowout… Now, there is a better solution! Our automatic ignition system, “The LampLighter,” will automatically sense and relight your gas lamp upon blowout any time of day. It also senses sunlight, and can turn your lanterns on right at dusk for evening enjoyment. By adding our LampLighter to your American Gas Lamp Works lamps, you’ll save time and money and gain even more control over the beauty of your sanctum. What is an Electronic Ignition for Gas Lamps? An electronic ignition system for gas lamps provides automated control to a gas lamp burner, allowing your lamps to be turned on and off with the flick of a switch or a timer. American Gas Lamp Works’ electric Gas Light Igniter, “The LampLighter,” controls the gas flow to the burner, ignites the burner, monitors the flame, and provides a burn timer; the LampLighter also provides continuous burn and night time burn options. |
The Benefits of an Electronic Lamp Ignition System
Unlike electric lanterns that can be easily turned on and off with a switch, gas lanterns are always on, regardless of the time of day or whether or not the owner is home. Also, if a gas lamp is extinguished by wind, it must be manually relit. For homeowners or commercial property owners, these occurrences can be irritating, time consuming, and costly. For example, if you’re a homeowner who travels, or the owner of a restaurant that isn’t open 24 hours a day, constantly running your gas lamps can be unnecessary. It can also be costly. By using an electronic ignition system, you can save money on natural gas costs by only running your lamps when you want to, or when you’re home. On the other hand, if you want your lamps to constantly run and the flame is extinguished by wind, you’ll have to manually relight them. But, by adding an electronic ignition system to your gas lamps, these challenges can be easily conquered. Users can switch between different modes (such as day or night mode), and an electronic ignition for gas lamps will also detect when a flame has been extinguished and reignite it automatically. Electronic ignition systems also allow the user to set a timer that controls how long the flame will be maintained for. After the amount of burn time has expired, the gas valve is turned off and the flame extinguished. |
How Does an Electronic Lamp Ignition System Work?
Our Gas Lamp Igniter runs on standard 120v electricity, so you’ll need both electricity AND natural gas run to the installation site. We also recommend it be installed by a licensed electrician. After installation, there are a number of modes the electronic ignition system will employ:
