📋 About This Mod

1. 8 Requires Wasteland Workshop! If you don't have it, just use 1. 7a.

This mod adds eight craftable variants of the industrial wall light, spotlight, street light, high tech lights, Wasteland Workshop lights, and the hanging light bulb. 

They come in basic red, blue, green, yellow, orange, purple, warm white, and cool white. There's also six variants of the four main models of High Tech lights and of the spotlight turrets.  This means 118 total new lights as of 1. 8.  You can achieve many subtle color variants by combining them.

You MUST craft a Bright Ideas magazine at the chemistry station for the lights to appear in your menu.  You can remove it from your inventory to remove the  lights from your crafting menu.  All the new lights will appear at the very end of your Lights category.  If you are updating from 1. 7 or earlier, your streetlights will disappear.

The wall lights and ambient bulbs have a bigger radius and softer falloff than vanilla, making them more suitable for ambiance than for harsh spotlighting. The point lighting has a smaller radius and maximum falloff, illuminating only a small area very brightly.  Streetlights are fairly large and moderately focused.  Spotlights (horizontal only for now) and spotlight turrets are a narrow cone, and cast shadows. The high tech lights have a unique kind of light that fades from white to whatever color you want. (if you have a mod that edits vanilla High Tech lights they may or may not look weird.)

100% compatible with Homemaker, Settlement Keywords, Alternate Settlements, and all other mods.  Does not edit vanilla assets.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Huge community trust with 4,785 endorsements and over 169k downloads.
  • Simple, focused addition—no bloat, just colored lights for your settlements.
  • Eight colors cover the basics, letting you set the mood without mod conflicts.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2016—may not be compatible with the latest Fallout 4 patches or DLC.
  • Only affects four light types; if you wanted colored ceiling fans or lamps, this won't help.
  • No screenshots or detailed instructions in the description, so you're flying blind on placement.
🎯 Is This For You?
For settlement builders who want to add colored lighting to their builds without heavy mods. If you're into moody or themed settlements, this is a quick win. Skip if you need modern lighting options or gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have the required crafting perks (like Local Leader) to build the lights in your settlements.
  • Check your load order—place this mod after any lighting overhaul mods to avoid conflicts.
  • Use the color variants to create distinct zones: red for danger, blue for calm, warm white for cozy.
