If hammering works the way I understand it to, moreso that it would first appear From what I understand,a hammered structure drops half the resources used to build it, but it rounds up. Also, the resources returned are newly spawned, so they will be at max freshness/durability etc, just like a newly spawned one. So not only can you hammer it to get back all materials, but the lantern it drops would be at 100%. So not only could you place it every night for light and then in the morning hammer it down, pick up the materials and craft another one, but if you have a second lantern, you can use it to craft the lamp post and save the new 100% durability one for use as a lantern. The only real cost is 3/100ths of a grass and 3/100ths of a rock for each hit required to demolish a lamp post. So if a lamp post takes 3 hammer strikes to destroy, less than .1 rock and .1 grass.
