The Lamp On Pillar is a flashlight mounted on a tall wooden pillar. It lights up a yard, a gate or a work area at a base.
It belongs to Carpentry and comes in a single version. The in-game tooltip calls it a flashlight on a tall pillar that requires a Battery. It runs on batteries, not on the power grid. That makes it useful once the electricity shuts off. It is also handy where no generator is set up. Its weak point is supply, since it keeps draining batteries. Lights powered by a generator are the alternative for a base with fuel to spare.
How to Build Lamp On Pillar
The recipe is known from the start. It asks for Carpentry level 1 and gives 10 Carpentry XP. That makes it one of the earliest lights a builder can make.
It takes one Log, four Nails, one Rope and a flashlight. A hammer drives the nails and comes back after the build. The flashlight becomes part of the pillar.
Logs come from chopping down trees with an axe. A new builder can put one up soon after finding a hammer.
The Wooden Lamp Pillar recipe builds the Lamp On Pillar. It needs Carpentry level 1. Building it gives 10 Carpentry XP.

How to Use Lamp On Pillar
Right-click the pillar to insert a Battery. The same menu removes the battery and turns the light on and off.
The light shines as long as the battery holds charge. The battery drains slowly while the lamp is on. Turn it off during the day to save power.
Place it at the base entrance or over a work bench outdoors. A lit area helps spot zombies coming at night.
Keep a stock of batteries if the lamp is the main light. A generator powers other lights without batteries.
Notes
- The tooltip says it requires a Battery.
- Insert and remove the battery from the right-click menu.
- The battery drains while the light is on.
- It works without grid power.
- Carpentry level 1 is enough to build it.
