I've run across some oil lamps a couple of times now, once in a hidden cave and also at the top of a bell tower. The lamps flash, the same way loot chests flash, so I'm assuming there's a way to light them, however I don't have any matches and the only flammable item I have is the Molotov cocktail. I've attached a photo of the one I found in the bell tower.

So how do you light them?

The fuel was poured into the body of the lamp through a filling hole and the wick was placed in the body of the lamp. When the wick was lit, the oil burned and a flame was produced out of the hole in the nozzle.

How did an ancient oil lamp work?

They work in the same way as a candle but with fuel that is liquid at room temperature, so that a container for the oil is required. A textile wick drops down into the oil, and is lit at the end, burning the oil as it is drawn up the wick.
