Dear cecil,
Why the earthen lamp are used in the house at the T junction. Why not the electric lamp and are they ever lit in the evening. Thanks.

Dear Anon,
Thanks for your observations:
1. You are correct to say that electric lamp can be used to light up the `corner' for this effect.
2. In my opinion, although one can place electric lamps but one cannot place many or it is not practical to place many lamps on the wall without making it look more light Christmas lightning.
The earthen lamps are `symbolic' to "trap" the sha qi as many are used rather than spacing out the electric lamps.
In `symbolism' the earthen lamps represent light even if they are not lighted up. From what I can see, the owners do not light up these lamps.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
