Photos: Tucson artist basks in the glow of the kerosene lamps he restores

sells but mostly uses instead of electric lights to light his historic home in the Dunbar Spring Neighborhood.Brett Tracy started collecting and restoring old kerosene lamps a little over four years ago. His row-house apartment in the Dunbar Spring Neighborhood has the usual complement of wall switches and electric light fixtures, but Tracy rarely uses them.

At the moment, Brett Tracy has about 30 lamps positioned around the apartment, but on most nights, he and his partner, Ashley, get all the light they need from four or five of the brightest ones. Using kerosene lamps can also be complicated and time consuming, especially compared to, say, flipping a light switch. To Tracy, though, the inconvenience is actually a selling point. He enjoys the effort it takes to fill, maintain and illuminate his lamps.
