Lanterns

A Lantern is a generic name for a small light source which hangs from the ceiling. They take up less space than a Chandelier, making Lanterns good for smaller areas.

The Heart Lantern is a particularly useful lantern as it provides players standing within about 48 tiles with extra health regeneration, which stacks with the Campfires buff. Toggling the Heart Lantern off will only deactivate the light source, and not the buff.

The Skull Lantern and Jack 'O Lantern, while being named Lanterns, are not like the rest of the lanterns in that they need to be placed on a flat surface. Likewise, the Chinese Lantern takes up slightly more space than a typical lantern, with a width of 2 blocks rather than 1.
