This was a misunderstanding, my suggestion was to use lamp_type for lamp types (in reply to your suggested light:source I was pointing out that there is a used tag) and light_type for the kind of device (lantern in this example). IMHO it would not be desirable to use different keys for the same property according to the kind of device (i.e. a lantern and a street_lamp should have the same subtag to map the lamp type / light source). cheers, Martin
