Comparability
The type of lighting fixture specified in LAMP varies across samples.
The information in LAMP is taken from the household record, linked to the record of the woman respondent. This information applies to household residents, not temporary visitors, so researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2").

LAMP is a country-specific variable not included in the standard DHS questionnaire.
