Gas lamps
Lighting with gas (methane) with illuminating gas products added for a brighter light, was begun in England in the early 1800's for lighting the streets of cities using coal gas, but its value was soon recognized and use spread to industrial, commercial and residential lighting purposes, being less expensive than either candles or oil for lamps.
