A '''redstone lamp''' is a solid [[Minecraft:block]] that produces [[Minecraft:light]] while it is receiving [[Minecraft:redstone]] power.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
A redstone lamp can be mined with any [[Minecraft:tool]]<ref>{{bug|MC-192719||Sea Lantern, Glowstone, Redstone Lamp don't have an assigned tool}}</ref> or by hand, dropping itself as an [[Minecraft:item (entity)|item]].
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Redstone Lamp}}

=== Natural generation ===
Redstone lamps generate naturally in [[Minecraft:ancient cities]].

=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
|B1= Redstone Dust
|A2= Redstone Dust
|B2= Glowstone
|C2= Redstone Dust
|B3= Redstone Dust
|Output= Redstone Lamp
|type= Redstone
}}

== Usage ==
A redstone lamp can be used to produce switchable [[Minecraft:light]].

Redstone lamps are [[Minecraft:Redstone components#Mechanism components|redstone mechanisms]] and can be activated by:
* An adjacent active '''[[Minecraft:power component]]''', including above or below: for example, a [[Minecraft:redstone torch]] (except that a redstone torch does not activate a redstone lamp it is attached to), a [[Minecraft:block of redstone]], a [[Minecraft:daylight sensor]], etc.
* An adjacent '''powered block''' (for example, an opaque block with an active redstone torch under it), including above or below
* A powered '''[[Minecraft:redstone comparator]]''' or '''[[Minecraft:redstone repeater]]''' facing the redstone lamp
* Adjacent powered '''[[Minecraft:redstone dust]]''' configured to point at the redstone lamp (or on top of it) or directionless; a redstone lamp is ''not'' activated by adjacent powered redstone dust that is configured to point away from it.

A redstone lamp activates instantly, but takes 4 ticks (0.2 seconds) to turn off {{in|java}} or 6 ticks (0.3 seconds) to turn off {{in|bedrock}}.

An active redstone lamp produces block light level 15. An inactive redstone lamp produces no light.

A redstone lamp acts like an opaque block; it blocks [[Minecraft:sky]] light, [[Minecraft:mob]]s suffocate in it, and it conducts redstone power. It also allows mobs to spawn on them, even when the lamp is lit, provided the mob ignores light level for spawning.
