It is used for lighting indoor and outdoor spaces and allows multiple uses (mobile or static). It has two separate tanks, one for water and one for calcium carbide (carbide). When water falls on the carbide it produces acetylene and the flame, from the combustion of acetylene, has lighting properties.
