The candle lantern is a type of members-only light source used in the Firemaking skill. To make a candle lantern, the player must first have an unlit candle, an empty candle lantern, and at least level 4 Firemaking. The player places the white candle in the lantern frame and lights it, using a tinderbox. No experience is received when lighting a candle lantern. They cannot be traded whilst lit.

The empty candle lantern can be filled with a black candle to give a black candle lantern.

Placing a lit candle into a candle lantern now requires level 4 Firemaking. Previously, players could circumvent the Firemaking requirement by using a lit candle on the candle lantern instead of an unlit candle.
