Radius of a single lamp.

Many lamp colors.

The lamp is a basic electric device providing light to a medium area (10 tile radius) at night. It can be used to increase visibility in a factory, so nightvision is not needed. Lamps can be toggled to always be on, regardless of time of day.

Color

Lamp colors can be changed by customizing the color with RGB values. This can also be done by sending a color signal to the lamp. When the condition inside the lamp passes, instead of lighting up white, it will use that color. This can be used to create colored displays, or indicate status. If more than one color signal is received, precedence is given to them in the order below (i.e. if red and green are received, the lamp will light red). As of now, attempting to use grey or black signals will just dim the lamp's light range, making those signal colors somewhat useless.

When attached to a circuit, and the "Use colors" option is selected, the lamp can be configured to use color mapping, which controls the lamp's output based on color signals passed to it, or color components can be used, which are specified by red, blue and green signals separately. A packed RGB value can also be used, which uses an eight digit hex color for the color. The lamp can appear as black when the color components option is used while being turned off.

History
