Different adaptations of lamps have been present all through history that dates back to almost 72,000 years ago. Until almost the 18th century, desk lamps were mere oil lamps. Animal fat was initially used as a source of fuel to make light and once pottery techniques came into limelight, people started making lamps of different shapes after which followed metal lamps. Pretty striking and tasteful lamps came into existence when the Greek started experimenting with terra-cotta and these lamps replaced torches. And with the invention of central burners, there was a great improvement in lamp making. Towards late 17th century, gas lamps started to get commercialized.
