Yes,... the difference being that oil lamps are glass and are vulnerable and gas lamp [ camping type] are not, if you drop a camping gas stove its not going to do a lot of damage

...but of course I also made the mistake of lighting the oil lamp away from where it was to stand,... if I had lite it in situ then there would not have been a problem

So to be fair,...maybe I should have said that oil lamps are safe, it us than need to be careful in how we use them
