Is there a way to change the amount of power used by a lamp type?
The small lamps have:
but changing this doesn't do anything.
I also tried adding:
just in case that was it (it's not).

The energy_usage_per_tick is the correct field. I tested it and works as expected (at least in 0.9). The only trick is that during the day the lamps take just some standby energy (1/30 of regular consumption).

Okay, I'm just stupid.
Somehow I thought small lamps use 60W, and adding
makes it 60W (1 J/t * 60 t/s), so I thought it didn't do anything.

Note, that for 0.9, the energy definition will be standartised.
So instead of 0.1 (energy per tick), it has to be "6W"
