Understanding the Oil Lamp Fuel Category
The Oil Lamp Fuel category, identified by ID 505312, is a third-level classification under Home & Garden > Lighting Accessories. Use this specific category for liquid fuels intended for use in oil lamps, lanterns, and fragrance lamps to ensure Google correctly categorizes your inventory.
What Belongs in This Category
This category is designated for various types of liquid fuels sold for decorative, lighting, or fragrance purposes. Based on product trends in the US market, appropriate items for this category include:
- Paraffin-based lamp oils designed for clean burning.
- Specially formulated fragrance oils for decorative lamps.
- Citronella-infused lamp oils used for outdoor insect-repelling lanterns.
- Liquid fuels specifically marketed for vintage or nautical oil lamps.
- Refillable, smoke-free oils intended for indoor lighting solutions.
What Does Not Belong Here
Avoid placing items that are not fuels into this category. Products such as lamp shades, which belong to the Lamp Shades category, or mechanical components like lamp post bases and lamp post mounts must be categorized elsewhere. Additionally, any electrical devices or smart lighting timers should be directed to the Lighting Timers category to maintain accurate feed mapping. Do not use this category for generic flammable liquids that are not intended specifically for oil lamps, as these may require different safety compliance attributes.
