Anyone writing Historical Fiction will need to research what lighting was around in the historical period of their story. Although my novels so far have been in the medieval era with two planned in WW2, I stumbled upon this post by Jonathan Taylor on Lighting in the Victorian Home.
I just had to post this to remind myself whenever someone asks me about the lights the Victorians used and I can quickly find this and refer the writer to this article.
