Editor: I didn't quite understand what this "protective cover" was supposed to be.
I mean, all kerosene lamps have a glass chimney, if that's what "protective cover" refers to.
Wp ~ "Kerosene lamps have a wick or mantle as light source, protected by a glass chimney".
So I figured maybe the "cover" is just the glass chimney that all kerosene lamps have (except perhaps in ancient times).
Grand Ricci's definition implies just that:
"literally, secure lamp : kerosene lamp."
i.e. 保险灯 is just another name for kerosene lamp (it seems to me).

There's a picture of a 保险灯 on this page.
It seems to be exactly what I'd call a "kerosene lamp".
It has a glass chimney. I wouldn't describe that as a "protective cover".

Compare that 保险灯 with the kerosene lamps on this page:
