Redstone Light Switch

Posted by LAR Games on July 2, 2011, 6:46 p.m.

This was created for the purpose of removing a cobblestone block, and replacing it with lightstone. I achieved the intended effect, but at the cost of space and redstone. I was just wondering if there was a better way to do this without all of that.

EDIT:

Improved Version

I kinda see what youre doing here. I can see if i can come up with a quicker solution… but seems difficult with the limitations of pistons…

The better way.

@Jeremy - You've got the right idea (is that a flip flop you're using?), but it requires two hits of the lever to swithc between on and off.

My method is much simpler, but it requires that the glowstone be set back an extra block, but the compactness of it allows you to have more lights closer together:

This is the best design I've seen, in which the block is actually 'replaced' and gives off the largest amount of light, but at the cost of a giant circuit.

hey, i tried this the day before yesterday, but i failed, so instead i made a cobble block which just covers up glowstone and when the cobblestone is moved, the light can get in.

edit: similar to smp but with more glowstone

I made an improved version, and applied it to the type of are it was meant for.

I don't think this is actually what you want at all, put I figured I would post it because it's semi-relevant, has some neat stuff, and also because sethbling is a pretty cool dude.
