A Light Bulb is a Food Item obtained by harvesting a Light Flower or as a drop from a Slurper, a Big Tentacle or a Bulbous Lightbug. Additionally, Light Bulbs are dropped by Skittersquids and Crustashines, making them available on servers which are not connected to a Caves world. Since Light Flowers regrow every 3 days, Light Bulbs are fully renewable, meaning an unlimited supply of fuel for Lanterns and Miner Hats.

While technically a Food item (restoring 1 Health each), Light Bulbs are mainly used for other purposes. They can be used to craft the Lantern or as fuel for Miner Hats and Lanterns, extending durability by ~19.2% or 1.5 minutes per Light Bulb.

Light Bulbs can be placed on the ground to be used as a Light source and will prevent an attack from Charlie.

Light Bulbs can be put inside a Table Vase, Table Lamp, Mushlight, Glowcap, and End Table and it will provide light for a period of time.

Tips

• Light Bulbs spoil quickly, so it may be wise to place them inside a Bundling Wrap or an Icker Preserve to preserve them indefinitely.
  • Alternatively, one can keep multiple lanterns in a chest, and refuel them all at once to have a longer-lasting supply of light.
• Light Bulbs are a good source of Rot if left to spoil, considering they grow back relatively fast and are very abundant in the Muddy Biome in the Caves.
  • Light Bulbs can also be turned into Manure by feeding them to Pigs or Werepigs.

Trivia

• The name Light Bulb is based on its appearance (being a plant bulb) and real-life light bulbs.
