Talk:Redstone Lamp

The current link http://i.imgur.com/18lw5.png leads to a 403 - Forbidden http://i.imgur.com/18lw5 would lead to the intended linkable page -I've reuploaded it to Imageshack instead; I'm not having the issue with Imgur (probably because I had been the one to upload it, cache or some jargon) but hopefully this helps instead. Not sure if there's going to be an issue though, Imageshack seems to require signup to even get a direct link now. http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/9126/lampgi.png

Wiki Image
I uploaded a screenshot of the proper inventory view of the redstone lamp. Not sure how to change the two images to show it, so I'll post it here for someone smart to help out. -Shmekekey

I think I glitches the system trying to fix this... I think this is where the wiki pro's do the work and I take my leave... I did the basics. :P Xamiostone 12:16, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Upcoming Redstone Lamps, WARNING TO ALL
new redstone lamps CAN CRASH THE GAME, putting a bunch of them togather and activating them can cause mass lag everytime its put ON and OFF, this is a griefable item as any servers trying the new snapshot can crash or cause mass lag for everyone --PhillipF 11:16, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Maybe youu should put this to the Buglist for 12w07a ;) --Galaxy_2Alex (Talk)

Bug list
This: Because it acts as a solid block that can transmit power and also receives power, the following is possible: http://i.imgur.com/18lw5.png leads to a 403 Forbidden error. I found it funny, because apparently, even though whatever it is is possible...it's still forbidden.
 * It cannot transmit power actually. I just put redstone below it and out another side of it, and the redstone line does NOT get powered. So it only transmits power to other redstone lamps. (and up to only one block in all directions) Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/XZwJm.png (copy paste in new tab) Iyeru 16:33, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Just a fun thing
this is funny, redstone lamps under a pressure plate, then spread this ALL OVER the place, BEHOLD a tracking device for pesks and what not! --PhillipF 11:51, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Street lamp design
In the first paragraph it says:

"Unlike Glowstone, fences will attach to it, making it good for making street lamps"

But how would you design such a street lamp since you need to power the redstone lamp? A simple 4 or 5-fence pole with a redstone lamp on the side(s) would't work, since you need at least one other block to put a redstone torch on, and that would ruin the aesthetics a bit, don't you think?

Maybe redstone lamps should be on without a power source. 90.210.171.134 13:36, 15 February 2012 (UTC)


 * You mean like glowstone? -Shmekekey

I think this should be in trivia

 * Notch once stated lamps was an anagram meaning "Light A-givin' Material Portal Side... the yellow stone thing", probably referring to Glowstone hence its use in crafting along with
 * This may also mean that with the addition of redstone lanmps torches may flicker out.


 * You're running on outdated information from 2010. When I undid your revision I clearly stated why this trivia was removed. --Moxxy 16:50, 17 February 2012 (UTC)


 * You stated that line 2 was a joke I did as well but it is still a good piece of trivia I think also if this should not be included as it was a joke this should be removed from...lanterns as this is an even bigger better reference seeing as the word lamp is in the block name, I have checked various sources and It seems Notch has stated  "...not sure if they will or not due to the negative response..." which neither denies or confirms the addition of torches going out so I'm so so on that but"Light A-givin' Material Portal Side... the yellow stone thing", probably referring to Glowstone in sokme way shape or form should be added I think
