Excerpt from The Physical Review, Vol. 2: A Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics

The Carcel lamp has stood the test of time but-little better than the best of standard candles. It has disadvantages entailed by the use of a light-absorbing chimney and a rapidly charring wick while of its reproducibility, within a reasonable margin of error, there is serious question. Although the Carcel lamp furnishes a very steady source of light, it is known to show slow changes in the amount of light emitted, rising slowly to a maximum as the lamp and oil become heated, and then falling off with the charring of the wick.
