<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Chris Marshall, post: 9932583, member: 206&quot;]Just because it has a well does not mean that it is an aroma lamp. As everyone handling natural oils and scents can confirm, especially earlier or cheap types could degrade to an evil-smelling (rancid) hard-to-remove sticky goo. Removing this from such a confined space could prove quite a challenge, rendering the item useless after a while as it would stink or even catch fire. Limescale on the other hand could easily be removed with a dash of vinegar.</p><p><br /></p><p>Night lights from the 1950s to 1970s often provided the functionality to be also used as small, simple humidifier which merely vaporized a small amount of water (roughly for one small bedroom) as attaching regular-sized humidifiers to the wall-mounted heating appliances common in Germany back then was often not an option : many landlords and associations claimed that humidifiers were responsible for the spread of Aspergillus Niger (black mold) and reacted accordingly. Nowadays we of course know that all that was pure codswallop. In fact humidifiers went through a hype in the 1980s in Germany; there were even &quot;retro&quot; versions in the typical 1950s fat lava look (my grandparents had a set of those!).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
