Electric lamps
Ceiling, wall, floor, desk and street lamps: they light when a cable brings them power.
In the game
How to get it
Each lamp is a bulb with copper wire and its shade: glass or a sheet for a ceiling lamp, a copper arm for a wall lamp, an iron pole for floor lamps, a glass or iron shade for desk lamps, iron and glass for the street lamp. Place it and bring it a powered cable.
What it is for
Steady light in every room and along the roads, switched on and off by a light switch; dimmable through a transistor.
Why it exists
Light that never needs a new candle, in the style you choose for each room.
The same text the game shows in its progress tree and on the item's sheet (I).

Using them
- A lamp lights when a cable brings it power, and goes out when the power stops.
- A Light switch on the network turns all its lamps on and off.
- A lamp also has a signal plug: a Transistor driven by a signal dims it by quarters.
- A lamp switched off draws nothing.
Right-click a block to place it, facing you. Broken, it comes back whole.
