I'm British I I have heard Lamp used as a slang insult for an idiot (maybe a play on not being very bright/intelligent. Then again the alien is only seen as a light source so maybe it's more literal.
shareIt's also a ref to reception bars on a mobile phone.

A lamp it's jest an official light sauce, like the disk lamp. So he was refereeing it as in a bra light.
