A portion of the hot air rises right into the canopy over the world, and also is pushed by a downdraft through the side tubes to the air chamber beneath the burner supplying the flame. Hot blast lanterns produce a yellow fire.

The fire is provided with fresh air, both through the globe plate and also the side tubes. This produces a white fire, and also two times the quantity of light as a "warm blast" light. One of the most popular supplier of tubular lights, R.E. Dietz, still produces lights today, although his firm has actually moved to Hong Kong and also China.
