One of the finest "white light" lamps ever made was the "Belgian." They were expensive lamps, however, so the "big three" of B&H, P&A and Miller produced their more affordable versions of the Belgian as close to the original as possible. These lamps were perhaps the culmination of center draft lamp design, using a thick 1 1/2" circular wick to produce an incredible amount of nice, white light, very close to the light output of a full sized store lamp, but with 1/3rd the fuel consumption. To produce that light, however, the bulge had to be in the perfect location to produce a nice, tight "tulip" ball, as shown in pictures.
Flame is a full "tulip" flame on Alex Muzyka's Belgian.
