Description
A brass lamp with a wicker.
- Is used as a personal light source.
- Fill it with 0.13 kg of olive oil or tar, then light it with a steel and flint.
- Oil is rumored to produce light for longer than tar.
- When full it will burn for almost 24 hours depending on quality (further studies are needed to determine more precise burn times).
- The lanp quality determines how far it can illuminate.
- If the lanp is painted, the light from it will be that color. Black dye has no effect on the light of the lanp though.
- Brass oil lamps have been shown to be marginally more fuel efficient compared to iron lanterns, and also decay through general use much, much slower. The only drawback is that they require brass to improve instead of iron.
