Around these parts we called them Geordie lamps.

You know the controversy surrounding the who invented the light "bulb" - Swan or Eddison?

Well, the same argument raged over the miners'safety lamp - Humphrey Davey or George Stephenson as they were both independently working on the same thing at the same time.
