Description

A decorative lamp head on a pole.

Usage

Lamps are used to light an area. Unlike lanterns, they can be planted much like a sign. Only can be picked up by the planter. The one week delay of being able to plant does not apply unless you have recently platned a sign, in which case it prevents lamp planting. Always plant lamps before signs.

When lamps are placed on a deed, they will light themselves in the evening (after you once filled and lighted them), and all lamps will go out in the morning (even lamps in mines).

You need 10 digging skill to plant a lamp post.
