It is not specifically stated that the Trees used the light of the Lamps. Some sort of continuity is suggested to the naïve reader: the moon's light matches that of Telperion because it came from Telperion's light so why does Telperion's light match that of Illuin? One reason to speculate that the light might have come from the lamps in some indirect way is their hues: Laurelin's golden hue matches that of Ormal and the sun, as Telperion's bluish light matches that of Illuin and the moon. It would also make sense if the light that the Valar gave to the trees came from the wreckage of the lamps of light, Ormal and Illuin, which were destroyed by Morgoth early in history, or if it came from light of the lamps caught by the Valar in some way, before the lamps had been destroyed.ĭo we have any reason to believe that the light of the trees came from the lamps? Or do we have any information about some other source? The sun and the moon were created from the light of the trees of light, Laurelin and Telperion, after they had been destroyed some parts of them survived the destruction and could thus be used for that purpose.
