It was noted in the developers blog that the Firefly Lamp "has a special mechanic to it."

Has anyone been able to figure out what this 'special mechanic' is? Or if there's even another mechanic to it other than being able to let the fireflies out?

I hope the special mechanic refers to putting a lala in there and throwing the key away.

Yep, definitely discovered that mechanic when I was first playing around with them!

Here's a gif of what happens when you click on it for those who want to see:

So it's either that or Lala jail.

CAn we put it in a FC bedroom or is it "garden locked" ?

It's an outdoor furnishing. "Garden locked" though? Nothing is "garden locked". Even the stuff that mentions being placed in gardens can be placed anywhere outside. https://bucket.bluegartr.com/7ad3de4...95576fea4f.jpg Oriental grass in a snowcave with mini-aetheryte, no garden. Or the same oriental grass placed at the entry, goes out to halfway out of the plot: https://bucket.bluegartr.com/7a27acf...b5062a8fb6.jpg

And that gif is hardly a special mechanic; that's just what it does when you click on it.

They meant outdoor furnishings, since you can't use any outdoor furnishings indoor.

There's definitely a reason some people are under the assumption some things can only go in gardens, the in-game description heavily implies they're specifically for gardens. Just making sure they were aware that's not the case.

That's likely a localization issue. In some regions garden=yard not vegetable/flower patch.
