Controllable Light Sources
These sources of light are wholly under your control. (Text mostly copied from the Misc Items page)
Gas Lantern
Powered by Jars of Gas. Sometimes break when they run out of gas, leaving you with nothing. The light given by a lantern depends on how much fuel you have in your inventory. If you have enough fuel, a single lantern will light the entire area. Consumes one Jar of Gas for every 100 AP. Also breaks slightly more often than an Oil Lantern.
Made from 3 Bits of Molten Glass, 100 Bits of Bronze, and a String.
As it wears out: Glows Brightly > Glows Softly > Flickering > Worn Out. With each level, dark squares intermittently pop up in the corner squares with greater frequency. --Tiltowait 14:35, 21 November 2008 (GMT)
- Not exactly: Gas Lanterns, just like non-armor worn equipment, has a chance of wearing out on any step. The progression goes beyond that, but if you commit this bit of SCIENCE! again, I'd appreciate a description of how many jars of gas is for each brightness.

Oil Lantern
Lets you see in caves and underground (Dungeon, Tunnels). Powered by Oil (uses one oil in about 50 moves). Similar to the Gas Lantern, having more fuel in your inventory produces a brighter light. Consumes one Oil every 150 AP.
Made from 3 Bits of Molten Glass, 100 Bits of Bronze and a String.
Light and forget
Candle
Buy 4 for 99 GP from Captain Hockney.
This has changed recently, now you can "Light and drop" a candle, which leaves a stationary light source on the square you do this. Presumably the candle will burn out over a few hours. MrFoo 14:44, 22 January 2007 (GMT)
- The candle seems to burn out within about an hour. N.b. this may just be because the 'King was fiddling, so they may get better... MrFoo 14:54, 22 January 2007 (GMT)
- You can no longer light and drop a candle. It is now an equippable item. PotatoEngineer 02:37, 22 March 2008 (GMT)
Miners Hat
Master Armourers can construct one for 800 Bits of Iron and 100 AP.
Place a candle in one to create a Glowing Miners Hat, which acts like a short-lived lantern.
Glowing Weapons
Several types of weapons "Glow" at times of day (the time is implied by the weapon's name). When they are glowing, in addition to having a higher base damage and/or to-hit %, they light up dark areas around you, as long as they are your "equipped" weapon (i.e., "Now using Glowing Dawn Horn").
Note: The Light Sabre does NOT glow and thus does not provide light.

Glowing Blings

Sun Stone Bling
Glows during the day, presumably from 4:00am until 7:59pm.
