Light Meter



A Redstone Lamp is a golden block visually resembling Glowstone (due to its crafting materials) that gives off light as long as it is powered. While powered, they have a luminance of 15, one level higher than a torch and the same light level as glowstone. They require constant input in order to emit light. Similarly to other light emitting blocks, they will melt snow and ice.

Behavior
A redstone lamp will light if it is powered, or if it is next to a powered (solid) block. Levers can be directly placed onto lamps to power them.

A redstone lamp with a switch placed on it will behave just like a standard solid block, meaning that if a redstone lamp is powered, it will power the block adjacent to it. It will also power redstone wire if it is placed on top of, underneath, or directly next to the lamp following the same principles as a standard solid block. Unlike glowstone, when a redstone Lamp is broken it will not break into glowstone dust nor redstone dust. Instead it will yield one Redstone Lamp, just like a standard block. It should also be noted that the lamps have not yet been optimized so a large number of blinking lights can cause FPS drops or even crashes.
