About the Redstone Lamp
The Redstone Lamp is a light source that only switches on while it is receiving redstone power. Give it a signal and it lights up instantly. Remove the signal and it goes dark. That makes it useful for controlled lighting, redstone displays, and builds where you want lights tied to a switch.
Key facts:
- Emits light level 15 when powered, matching glowstone and lanterns.
- Does not glow without a redstone signal.
- Responds to any redstone power source, including levers, buttons, pressure plates, and sensors.
How to get the Redstone Lamp
You can craft a Redstone Lamp using one glowstone block and four redstone dust. Place the glowstone block in the centre and arrange the redstone dust around it in a cross pattern. You may also find Redstone Lamps already placed in ancient cities, but crafting is the main route.
