Oil lamps are a light source for use in dark places. Like all low-quality light sources, it is recommended that several lamps are used if this is the only option, and a tinderbox is available in case the lamp goes out.
Empty oil lamps can be made using the Crafting skill at level 12, or bought from Dorgesh-Kaan or from other players. To light it, players require level 12 in Firemaking. Note that the oil lamp must be filled with lamp oil to be lit.

[edit] Explosion of gas
Oil lamps can provoke an explosion in the Lumbridge Swamp Caves. Players would have to move to a safer place (a few squares away) when the message reads:
- Your oil lamp flares brightly.
If they succeed, the message reads:
- Your oil lamp stops flaring.
If the lamp extinguishes, and players experience an explosion, they will lose around 15 Hitpoints. The message reads:
- The swamp gas explodes!
[edit] Extinguishment of light
The lamp may be extinguished for various reasons (falling into water, explosion, etc.) If players do not relight it fast enough, the message reads:
- You hear tiny insects skittering over the ground...
A while later, the next message reads:
- Tiny biting insects swarm all over you!
Players will start to lose 1 Hitpoint every few seconds until they die, or until the lamp is relit.
[edit] Possibility of item scamming
Players should be aware that the empty and the fuelled oil lamps share the same name. However, their examine text and icon differ.
