Usage

Lamps are used to light an area, unlike lanterns they can be planted much like a sign without the 1 per week timer, and like a sign they can only be picked up by the planter. When lamps are placed on a deed, they will light themselves in the evening, and all lamps will go out in the morning(even lamps in mines).

It seems that lamps off deed can be picked up by people other than the planter after all. --Noiram 23:35, 15 March 2009 (CDT)

However, on GV if one is planted only the planter may pick it up. Gate 13:40, 11 April 2009 (CDT)

Hint

Lamps can be made out of any metal (confirmed by Oracle). When attaching the log to the lamp head, it's the log that determines the success rate, and if you fail you lose the log while the lamp head is turned to a scrap. If you succeed to make a lamp, the whole log is used.

Lamps take 0.125kg of tar to fill to max capacity, and painting them takes 0.06kg of dye. Like a lantern, the higher quality they are the brighter they shine. Brass lamps glow the brightest, although they cannot be painted. Silver lamps cast white light, copper lamps glow orange, and bronze lamps give a deep brown(courtesy of Bianca).
