FAQ

What tool do I need to mine a Redstone Lamp?

Any pickaxe works and mines it quickly, though it can also be broken by hand.

Why won't my Redstone Lamp turn on?

It only lights up while actively receiving a redstone signal; without power it stays dark.

How is a Redstone Lamp crafted?

Combine 4 Redstone Dust and 1 Glowstone block, with the Glowstone in the center slot and dust in the four surrounding slots.

Is there a delay when a Redstone Lamp turns off?

Yes, it turns on instantly but takes a short delay (about 2 game ticks) before going dark once power is removed.
