Need I say more? We have no idea if this is the name of this station. This is one fans opinion.--Baker1000 20:51, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
- Agree I love DHARMA stations as much as the next big lost fan, but there's just too much speculation with this page/station. Who knows when this station will be shown on t.v.? Plus it's kinda on the spoilerish side. BETTYFIZZW (Talk) 21:34, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
- Also who is to say it is even a lighthouse in the logo? We knew more about the Orchid logo but we didn't call that page "the spiral". If not a delete then this should be renamed to something else.--Baker1000 23:56, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
- Disagree, Baker is right, who's to say it is the "lighthouse"? It looks a lot more like lampost. If it is supposed to be a lighthouse then it has the skinniest tower up into the light itself that I've ever seen. also the LG logo has a rabbit on it, we could have easily called it the White Rabbit or something silly like that. Lastly rename the station to something more suitable like "The Special Access Station" or something ambiguous till we have something concrete. --LOST-The Cartographer 04:19, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

- Has been renamed to Unknown station for now, until a more concrete name is given. -- CTS Talk Contribs 05:01, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
I have removed edits that mention that the cellar underneath the church Ms. Hawkings was working at is "The Lighthouse". I could not find any evidence of this in the episode itself. --Freekazoid 15:37, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
The Name[]
Ama, you have not shown any proof that this is indeed the name of the station (Lighthouse). Until then the name must be "Unknown station". --LOST-The Cartographer 16:52, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
Please Lock This Article[]
Can we get this article locked for now? The spoilers have only been out a few hours and the page has already been edited twice. Hugo815 04:35, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, please lock this page. I had to remove spoilers last night. I don't watch the sneak peeks so it kind of annoyed me.--Baker1000 14:19, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
We now know that the station is called the Lamp Post. Straight from the horses mouth. However, since the ep hasnt aired yet, the article should remain named Unknown Station. The stations name is now on the talk page though.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dhamra Intiative Agent (talk • contribs) .
- Where did they confirm the name of the station?--Baker1000 17:36, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
- A 3 minute sneak peek for 5x06 was released on Dark UFO's site continuing the end of last weeks episode. You ought to watch it. It was very interesting. I'm just glad cus I was right about the name hehe! --LOST-The Cartographer 21:33, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
- No thanks, I don't like to watch sneak peeks. I don't get why everyone is adding stuff from this weeks batch of sneak peeks, they never did before.--Baker1000 00:03, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

- Yes, no spoilers please. Why is it that suddenly everyone thinks sneak peek info is accepted as canon? If the episode hasn't aired, the content is a spoiler. For all we know (doubtful) the sneak peeks won't even appear in the episode. I mean, some of the Lost Moments scenes were cut from the broadcasted episodes.--Baker1000 00:10, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
- Oh come on. It is more than likely the first part of the episode. If you would watch it you would see what I mean. --LOST-The Cartographer 03:19, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
- However, there's still people who doesn't want to know. And we should respect that. We spoiler-addicts have always keep that policy: Keeping the statu quo until the actual episode airs. Come on, you just can't wait a few days to add the name? --Comfortably.Floyd 04:38, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
- I totally agree, I abide by the status quo rule too. I'm just saying that trying to deny a clip from the show as canon is silly.--LOST-The Cartographer 20:08, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
- What I was trying to say was, we shouldn't add it as canon until we actually see it aired in the episode. Some of the Lost Moments were cut from the show, but we never added the information we got from those before the episode aired. It will be in the episode I know, but it's still a spoiler if it hasn't been aired. I believe a sneak peek from "Jughead" had Sawyer confirm Jones and Cunningham were indeed from the group that attacked them at the beach, but did we suddenly add that as fact? No, not until the episode was aired.--Baker1000 21:11, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
- Ok that makes sense. Thanks for elaborating. By the way I agree. --LOST-The Cartographer 02:39, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Rename[]
- K, rename to The Lamp Post--Mistertrouble189 02:06, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- Agree. I told you it was the Lamp Post! hahaha! --LOST-The Cartographer 02:32, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- Agree--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk 03:32, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
One Word or Two?[]
Should it be "Lamppost" or "Lamp Post"? Different pages on the site say different things. --Fig newton 03:54, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- Definitely the Lamp Post. This is a nod to the Narnia books, and so it should follow the form given therein. Lamp Post is two words. Michael Lucero * Talk * Contributions
- Yes I agree, keep it in line with Narnia. Also the technical spelling is with two words anyway.
Rename[]
This should be renamed to The Lamppost, it's one word. -- CTS Talk Contribs 04:35, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
It should actually be "The Lamp-Post" just with a hyphen between the two words, the Oxford English Dictionary even has it spelled out "lamp-post." --CharlieK09 05:17, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
I think the hypthen is good...but let's all make sure we use the 'The'. Right now the image box only says Lamp-post. elliottthomas|talk|contributions 06:48, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- Closed captions gave the name as the Lamp Post. Robert K S (talk) 08:53, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- I think it should stay as the Lamp Post, since this is a nod to the Narnia books, and so it should follow the form given therein. Lamp Post is two words. Michael Lucero * Talk * Contributions
- Disagree: It should remain as two words. -- Sam McPherson T C E 13:07, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- Disagree: Indeed, it's a direct Narnia reference, two words it must be. - TheAma1 13:50, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
In The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, the word lamp-post is given with the hyphen in between the two, so there is no doubt that it should not be combined into "Lamppost." It should be spelled as "The Lamp-Post" as that is the way it is given in the Narnia books.--CharlieK09 14:18, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- Just keep it the way it is. --LOST-The Cartographer 15:12, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- I agree that with the reference to Narnia and the closed captioning, that The Lamp Post should remain two words, without the hyphen. Tangentially, without the hyphen it looks cleaner and more in line with the other two word DHARMA station (The Looking Glass) Theartandsound 17:17, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- IMO, until we have textual evidence for the hyphen, we can't consider that orthography just because that's how it appears in Narnia. Robert K S (talk) 17:19, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- I don't suppose the name was on that binder Ms.Hawking was holding? Otherwise I say keep the name as it is. Hugo815 19:29, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
*Agree The Oxford American Dictionary (after all this is an American show) says lamppost. The Cambridge Dictionary says lamppost. Dictionary.com (Google's dictionary of choice) uses lamppost. Its one word. Lamppost is one word. Plkrtn talk contribs email 20:32, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- Dictionary definitions and prior usages should have less bearing than the evidence immediately available to us through canon sources. As an example, the title of the Alice in Wonderland book and most dictionaries give the word as "looking-glass", but the title of the station was the Looking Glass, as given even in the title of the episode "Through the Looking Glass, Part 1". The best canon source we have to go by right now is the closed captioning, and until something contradicts it, Lamp Post it should stay. Robert K S (talk) 20:39, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- Excellent point; the Looking Glass is a good model for this one. We don't have the station listed as the Looking-Glass here, so why should we have a Lamp-Post? Lamp Post looks better. Michael Lucero * Talk * Contributions
- Disagree: even ABC official episode recaps call it "The Lamp Post". --Simone85 12:42, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
- Disagree: in accordance with the Narnia and Looking Glass arguements.Wild ste 20:20, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
- Disagree: In the closed captioning, it was named, "The Lamp Post" all separated. Leave it be. -- Nusentinsaino talk contribs email 21:16, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
- Disagree: Keep it Lamp Post, in accordance with ABC and the Narnia arguements. Besides, lamppost doesnt look right on its own without a space.--Nzoomed 02:36, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
- Change of opinion : Disagree Not because it isn't correct, but because this is what ABC/TPTB are using. Inspecting the official site, for some reason they've decided that Lamppost isn't actually one word, like it is. Regardless, what they use is what they use and it should be Lamp Post on the site. Even though its incorrect and very bad English! -- Plkrtn talk contribs email 14:45, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
- Not necessary bad English--could just be a pun on the "station" sense of the word "post". Robert K S (talk) 14:48, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
Whut[]
The word DHARMA does not appear in the logo. Why? Could this be because it's from the island. All the other DHARMA-stations are on the island expect for the Lamp Post. The Lamp Post has a great logo. DHARMA is big on the island. Could that it be?
robert h
The Lamp Post visitors are jack, Sun, Ben and Desmond. They all were going after to Eloise Hawking for the reason from Benjamin Linus. Desmond didn't know this and was angry. Sun, Jack and ben wannna found the Island. That's my reason why they visited that station.

Chalk?[]
The article says there's a piece of chalk at the bottom of the pendulum. Are we sure this is correct? The chalk marks on the floor don't look like they were (or even could be) made by the pendulum. --Doc 21:01, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, you can clearly see line(s) being drawn as the pendulum swings. --Hugo815 21:08, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
Not really a Foucault pendulum[]
I changed the wording to state the pendulum is Foucault-like. A true Foucault pendulum's trajectory changes only with the rotation of the earth - this one has a seemingly randomly changing trajectory. Frink Labs 18:36, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
Ben didn't visited the station in The Lie[]
Ben didn't visited The Lamp Post in the Lie, he was there at the time that Eloise came, but he didn't visited it.--Station7 18:25, November 13, 2009 (UTC)
