Tallow Lamp
A pottery lamp. Fuel with tallow.
Notes
The Tallow Lamp is a placed lighting object that burns tallow as fuel, providing a housing value of 2.5 per lamp. As a Lighting furniture item, each additional lamp placed in the same room contributes only 70% of the previous lamp's value, so stacking many identical lamps yields rapidly diminishing returns. This makes it an accessible early-game light source (using animal tallow), but for best housing value per item, consider diversifying with other lighting types or upgrading to higher-tier lamps as the town progresses.
