The Adam and Eve Project (2017)
> x lamp (@ [Eve] Bedroom)
[Eve] It's a desk lamp. It's the only source of light in the room.
[if first time, add all of the following:]
[Adam] Hm. That's interesting.
[Adam] In my room, the source of light is a light fixture on the ceiling.
[Eve] It's definitely easier to change the light bulb in a lamp than in a ceiling light.
[Adam] Don't tell me we'll be staying here long enough that we'll need to change the lights!

Ancient but reliable, looking down non-judgmentally on the bridge, making everything look orange.

> x garden lamp (@ Mountain Path)
It is one of those solar-powered light sources, that charge up under the sun by day, and shine all night. This one is clamped to a bar on the fence. You recall it was the one that lit your way as you came out of the trap door in Mabel's back yard...

It is your usual table lamp, with cylindrical lampshade and carved wood base.

> x lamp (@ Upstairs Bedroom)
It's one of those electric lamps that has a cylindrical shade stuck around the bulb. Not your high-dollar kind of lamp.

A dull blue waterproof bull's eye lantern with a small paraffine candle in it.

Presumably it was hanging in the middle of the room. Now it lies on the ground, still on its chain, with its glass broken, and its iron body bent and torn in two.
> x lanterns (@ Chapel of pure souls)
Delicately ornamented antique lamps and candlesticks, all a masterpiece of its kind. All of them seems to be unique, no two have the same elaboration. The only thing they have in common is that they are empty, you can see no usable candle or oil left at first glance.

Shining blue lantern, with star and moon-shaped windows on its side, through which a slightly burning wick can be seen.

> x lamp (@ Inside Building)
Color and Number (2002)

The Enigma of the Old Manor House (2022)
> x lantern (@ Entrance)
A rugged little plastic thing, exactly the sort of thing you'd want on an adventure or an investigation. It can actually be a flashlight or a lantern, and it even has a little laser pointer attached, in case you want to point something out in the middle of a case. You've seen enough horror movies where something attacks from just outside the beam of the character's flashlight, so you've got it in lantern mode for tonight.
Enlightenment (1998)
> x lamp (@ At The Wrong Side Of The Bridge)
Your brass lantern has seen many days of faithful service. For a battery-operated model, it burns as hot as an oil lamp, which is why there's a handle to carry it by.
Eruption (2009)

> x globe (@ Roof of the Heliograph Station)
Friar Bacon's Secret (2000)
> x lamp (@ Secret Passage)
Frobozz Magic Support (1996)
> x lantern (@ Dark chamber)
The battered brass lantern looks old enough to have survived the rise and fall of the entire Great Underground Empire, but it's certainly quite useless now.
Genie (2002)
> x lamp (@ Living Room)
Since it doesn't generate enough heat to raise the temperature in the room signifiantly, you assume it's a lamp. Something mortals need to see in the dark.
The Ghost Ship (2015)
> x lantern (@ Your Cell)
It is an old, rusted lantern that is covered in soot and grease. Not a pleasant thing to behold.

> x lamp (@ Square Cave)

Scary House Amulet! (2002)
> x lamp (@ Pit)
An old lamp. It's [not] glowing.
Toonesia (1995)

[if first time] The beacon was one piece of emergency equipment that the professor put you in charge of (the other was the emergency whistle). [end if]

> x lamp (@ Lantern Room)
The large lenses focus the light of the high-intensity lamp into a bright beam. That beam is meant to get the attention of passing ships and help them avoid crashing into the islands. The lamp is currently switched [off or on].
The Wand (2017)
> x lantern (@ Garden)
Where There's A Will (2005)
> x lamp (@ Small Bathroom)
The lamp has been half-disassembled, with the shade removed, and the bulb too -- it's really just some loose wires sticking out the top, and a long cord running out into the hallway. The cord's hanging loose; that was probably what you tripped over when you came in.
