Yep. Lamplight Farms is in Menomonee Falls, a suburb of Milwaukee, WI. I've been to the company before for advertising interviews. They own the original "Tiki" logo and any product that falls under that... torch oil, citronella candles, torches. Every year more and more new styles of torch are designed with wicker, bamboo, rattan... etc. Lamplight Farms has a lot of money to play with, and I think they offered up the most to buy the rights to an old company that as bigbro said, wasn't exactly popular inthe 80's and 90's. Now the tiki torch has found it's way into every backyard and mainstream America.
