Abstract: An illumination assembly includes a container adapted to contain a flammable light source, a flammable light source contained within the container, and a cover adapted to cover a top opening of the container. The cover includes a closable cavity adapted to safely store a lighting source capable for lighting the flammable light source. The container may be a jar, a lamp, or a lantern. The flammable light source may be a wax-based candle, a liquid or solid fuel lamp. The lighting source may be a match and a match-striking element or a self-ignitable lighter. In alternative embodiments the lighting source may be contained within a closable cavity formed within the base of the container or within a pouch attached to an outer surface of the container.
