Illumination devices, recognized as lamps, served as light-generating instruments employed throughout the galaxy.
The purpose of lamps was to provide light in dimly lit spaces. Certain lamps were designed more for aesthetic appeal than practicality; examples include office lamps, illuminators, and wish globes, which were used as decorative furniture pieces. On Jakku, the bloggin-oil lamp offered an inexpensive light source by utilizing oil derived from indigenous bloggins.
During the Galactic Republic period, numerous political figures, such as Senator Bail Organa and Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine, maintained office lamps. Padmé Amidala possessed both an illuminator and a wish globe. Additionally, the bounty hunter Jango Fett made use of a setla lamp.
Osh Scal, a Kallidahin, utilized a shoulder lamp while performing his duties at the Polis Massa Base situated on the asteroid of Polis Massa.
A metal lamp, containing a sliver of kyber crystal, was affixed to the top of Chirrut Îmwe's staff. This lamp served as a symbolic light source, assisting Chirrut in determining the location of the staff's end.
On Jakku, scavengers employed bloggin-oil lamps as a budget-friendly form of lighting. These useful devices featured a bowl at the base for storing bloggin oil, which was then channeled through an oil pump regulator to supply a high-output burner. The lamp's brightness could be adjusted using a dimmer switch activated by twisting the top.
