Redstone Torch

The Red Ore Torch (for lack of better naming) is a torch-like item which is used for lighting up wires. Wires in turn are used to operate a Stone Button, a lever, or a Pressure Plate from a distance. It turns off when any adjacent switch, lever, or pressure plate is turned off.

Using it as a source of light is not reccomended, as it has only a third of a regular torch's light output.
