Aside from that, there are certain mobs in the game that only emerge at night if the light level is 7 or below, and you won’t be able to kill them if you can’t see them well. So you need a better light source with more illumination than that to prevent them from reaching you. One of those light sources is the redstone lamp that has one of the peak brightness levels of 15 available in the game and we will guide you on how you can make and use this light source in this article.
Materials required to make a Redstone Lamp
You can make this lamp by placing 4 pieces of redstone dust and 1 glowstone on a crafting table.
Getting Glowstone
You can find glow stone on a nether and for that, you need to build a nether portal. It can be made using obsidian blocks which are black-colored blocks. You can get this block by combining water and lava together as displayed in the image below.
Now you need another item which is “flint and steel” that will be used to activate the portal. You can make this item by placing 1 iron ingot along with flint on a crafting table.
Now place 3 blocks of obsidian vertically and 2 blocks horizontally to and fill the corners with any block as you like.
After that, you need to approach the portal, equip yourself with the flint and steel, and just click on any of the obsidian blocks to activate it.
Now jump towards the blue colored light that will send you directly to the nether. After that, you need to find the blocks of glow stone dust that are mainly attached to the ceilings.
Now place 4 items of glow stone dust in a crafting table to make 1 glow stone.
Getting Redstone Dust
Finding Redstone dust is not a difficult task, all you need is to mine the rocky mountain and you can find them after mining 6 to 12 blocks underground.
Making a Redstone Lamp

How to Activate the Redstone Lamp

Conclusion
Redstone lamp is one of the blocks available in the game with the highest brightness level of 15 compared to others but it can only be lit up using a redstone source. It is a necessary item for your safety as some of the most powerful mobs spawn at night if they found the light level of 7 or below. So, you will be able to keep them at distance by having a light source in hand.
