A spirit lamp is like an ordinary lamp,but this lamp uses ethanol ie.ethyl alcohol as a fuel.This lamp is used mostly in laboratories and mainly inside the laminar air flow chamber which is a sterile cabin where most of the biotech. and microbiology practicles are held.
Ethanol is used as a fuel instead of other commercial fuels because this will easily evaporate and will not produce smoke and hence we can avoid contaminations.
No, surgical spirits should not be used in a spirit lamp. Surgical spirits are typically used for disinfection, cleaning, and sterilization purposes and are not meant to be used as a fuel source in a spirit lamp. Instead, the appropriate fuel sources for a spirit lamp are denatured alcohol or methylated spirits.
Spirits, of course. Hence the name. (I'm not being metaphysical here; by "spirits" I mean "ethylated spirits" or "methylated spirits", aka "booze" or "wood alcohol".) You could also burn rubbing alcohol in them, but this won't work as well since most rubbing alcohol is about 30% water ... which of course doesn't burn.
The wick may not be burning due to insufficient air supply. The flame needs oxygen to burn, and if the wick is not getting enough air, it may not ignite. Try adjusting the position of the wick or increasing ventilation to allow for better combustion.
A person who lives in a lamp is typically referred to as a "lamp dweller" or "lamp resident."
You can convert a clamp on desk lamp to a lamp with a regular base by purchasing a tabletop bracket for the lamp. This bracket can act as a base for the lamp.

Covering a lighting spirit lamp with a lid will cut off the oxygen supply, causing the flame to be extinguished due to lack of oxygen for combustion. It is a safety measure to prevent accidents and to conserve fuel.

White spirit is what I use. I read it somewhere and it works well
I'm assuming it's the same as Djinni, the spirit in the oil lamp.
A spirit lamp is a small, portable oil-burning stove used for heating or cooking in laboratory experiments, especially in situations where an open flame is needed. It can also be used for heating small quantities of liquids or chemicals gently and evenly.
A genie is a spirit trapped in a bottle or oil lamp (in Arabian folklore) who can grant wishes when summoned.
