The lit strange object is a quest item used in the The Fremennik Trials. It is made by selecting "light" (or using a tinderbox) on the strange object, obtained from the council workman. Doing so also gives the player the message You light the string of the strange object. It starts to hiss slightly.

About 90 seconds after lighting it, if it is still in the player's inventory, it explodes and deals around 2000 life points of damage to the player, resulting in the message The strange object you lit earlier explodes in your inventory! and the player saying Ow!. Dropping it and picking it back up again resets the timer. If multiple strange objects are lit, they change back to unlit variant after the first one explodes.

The proper use for this item is to be put in the pipe by the longhall in Rellekka to distract the people inside so the player can switch the normal beer for a low alcohol keg.
