Lamp

Block type: Single
Powered by: Any Voltage
Requirements for operation: Nothing
Stackable: Yes (64)

Lamps are used to provide light. They come in numerous shapes and sizes, and can be powered directly by a cable or by a lamp supply. These options can be configured by right-clicking the lamp to open its GUI. Lamps require an internal cable like most components, which means they can explode if wired incorrectly. Each type of lamp has a specific spot distance. This basically is a measure of how good the lamp is at projecting light. If the lamp faces a block that's closer than its spot distance, it will reflect some of the light back onto itself. Lamps also require a light bulb (obviously).
