A redstone lamp is used for better looking lighting inside your structures; this lamp looks more modern than the primitive torches. However, to turn it on after crafting it, you'll need to use a redstone current, as it won't glow by itself.
Steps
-
Place the glowstone block and 4 redstone dust into the crafting table. Arrange as follows:
- Place the glowstone block in the center of the crafting table.
- Place one redstone dust above and one below the glowstone block and one to each side. (This leaves the four outer corners of the crafting table empty.)
-
Shift click or drag the redstone lamp to your inventory.

Tips
- The redstone circuitry takes up a lot of space. If you have a very simple redstone lamp attached to a lever or redstone torch, you can hide the torch or lever and you'll still have good light (you can put it behind a wall, put it on top of your ceiling, underneath your floor, etc, wherever you have room). However, some people prefer to hook the lamp up to a lever, so that when you pull the lever it can be turned on and off, meaning that you leave the lever obviously exposed.Thanks
