Q. Which is better a spirit lamp or a Bunsen burner?

Answer

In comparison to Bunsen burners, the flame from a spirit lamp stove is cleaner, less hot, and creates no residue, making it the superior piece of laboratory equipment. The flame of an alcohol burner never gets higher than around five centimeters (two inches), making it just as safe to use as a Bunsen burner. Bunsen burners are used in labs and are fueled by LPG. A spirit lamp is a candle that is lit with alcoholic fuel. A Bunsen Burner is a piece of equipment used in laboratories that is designed to burn a gas fuel in a single flame to provide heat with little light pollution. With a reservoir holding liquid fuel, a Spirit Lamp may be adjusted to burn just the vapor.
