The torch lamp is a piece of furniture that burns wood to light an area, while also generating a small amount of heat.

Acquisition

Torch lamps require Wood 20 Wood and 100 ticks (1.67 secs) of work in order to be constructed.

Summary

A torch lamp outputs light in a 10 tile radius, with the nearest 7.175 tiles being above 50% light level and considered lit. It heats the room to a maximum temperature of 23 °C (73.4 °F) at a rate of 3.5 heat per second.[Exact mechanic unclear]

The torch lamp consumes Wood 2 wood per day as long as it is lit, and consumes an additional Wood 0.0006 wood per 1 tick (0.02 secs), or a total of Wood 38 wood per day, if it is lit while unroofed in the rain. It can hold up to 20 fuel (wood) at a time, for a maximum run time of 10 days. It is constructed with a full fuel capacity. Fuel is delivered to the torch lamp by a haulers as long as refueling is enabled.

It cannot be "turned off" or paused, only deconstructed, in which case no wood is recovered, regardless of any "fuel" remaining.

Analysis

It is generally not resource and work-time efficient to use once Electricity has been researched, however its grid independence and immunity to power outages and solar flares make it very useful in niche applications even beyond this point.
