6 tests needed
(1, 2) → (3, 4) → (5, 6) → (7, 8) → (7, 9) → (8, 9)
If at least one of these tests is positive, then you have found two working lanterns.
It all of these tests are negative, then lantern #10 must be working. Indeed, since at least one lantern in each of the pairs (1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6) is not working. Therefore, there are at least 2 working lanterns among #7, #8, #9, #10. If #10 is not working, then at least one of the pairs (7, 8), (7, 9), or (8, 9) must yield a positive test, which is a contradiction.
