The skull lamp is a decorative building and light source that was added in update v0.15 of The Forest.
Gameplay[]
A skull lamp is useful for improving the player's ability to see at night since they (unlike fires) do not need to be re-lit. They can be placed for lit pathways around the player's base. The large number of skulls in caves may indicate encouragement from the developers to place skull lamps in caves. Placing lots of these in a cave may affect performance of your game, though this depends of whether the game loads the cave system and above ground system at the same time.
