Famous Lviv pharmacists Yohan Zeg and Ignatsy Lukasevich invented the first kerosene lamp.

Two men tried to extract alcohol from oil on the orders of their boss and colleague Mykolyash. But by chance they invented a method of cracking oil. With the help of this process, oil and kerosene become a material for lighting, therefore, after the invention and until now, people actively use the ingenious Lviv product.On March 31, 1853, many people gathered under the pharmacy. Lviv residents were surprised by the bright light that was visible from the windows of the pharmacy. Like the inventors, the residents of Lviv witnessed a new discovery of global proportions. It is worth noting that immediately after that, almost everyone actively used a kerosene lamp, the light of which replaced fifteen candles.
