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 by glassblowing molten glass, 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.

An oil lamp can be combined with an oil lantern frame (forged from iron) to make an oil lantern for 50 Crafting experience. Combining the lantern frame with the lamp does not require a furnace or anvil, but does require 26 Crafting.

As it is an open light source, it can set off gas explosions in certain parts of the Lumbridge Swamp Caves.
