Is there lamp(s) in Minetest Game?

[Sergey]

Is there lamp(s) in default Minetest Game? Just lamp to hang on the ceiling, not torch.

I mean default Minetest Game, without mods. Mese Lamp is too expensive — three mese crystals!

basic_machines has lights, made from 4 torches.
Just needs a constructor to fabricate them...

The newest version has a mese postlight. But I don't know the recipe

Xanadu has petroleum lamps. they can be switched on and off.
judging by their textures, i guess they come from the xdecor mod.

Many of these are dangerous for health. And I want to use light in my house. Quite big house with 2 floors and basement.

You can add the moreblocks mod and use the chainsaw to cut the meselamp into smaller parts. I think this should work

It looks like you need to use some mod, so how about darkage ?
That has also a decent looking lamp.

[TumeniNodes]

Wasn't there a mod that donbatman did with such lamps?
I know VanessaE has a couple of mods with various lights...

Either way, you're going to need to use a mod, or make a very simple one for yourself?

edit: Here you go. I would recommend this, as Don's mods are done very well and, most of them are maintained in Minetest_mods... https://github.com/minetest-mods/mylights I think it has exactly what you're looking for, even though it has to come from adding a mod

The question was if there are lamps in default Minetest game. There are only two items that really qualify as lamps per se: a mese lamp and a post light. And yes, I think the mese lamp is ridiculously expensive.

[Wuzzy]

Note: The mese post lamp is only in the developer version and was a recent addition.
In the developer version the cost of a mese lamp was also reduced from 1 glass and 3 mese crystals to 1 glass and 1 mese crystal.

That is great to hear. This discussion actually prompted me to change the recipe for mese lamps and glow blocks to just one mese crystal each on JT2.

As I already said, mese lamp is very expensive — three mese crystals is needed for it. I know about plan to use one mese crystal. But I think it is expensive anyway. One mese crystal fragment should be fine for the lamp.

For example, torch is very cheap — one stick (1/16 of tree block) and one coal lump. A lot of trees and coal around! And even more — stick and coal lump makes four torches at once.

But what about mese lamp? It says "it shines slightly brighter than a torch". So what's the point of it?

By the way, torch is better not only because it is cheap. It is also passable node and therefore it does not hinder moving around.
