📋 About This Mod
Description :
I was always more into Exploring without Power Armor, because the normal Pip Boy light illuminates the Surrounding so much better, than the little crappy Power Armor Headlamp.
This Mod addresses this and makes the Standart Power Armor Helmet Lamp light up a much bigger Space than before, so that you don't miss any more Loot, cause it was too Dark, to see all the little thingies.
' This does not seem to work with Helm Lamp Mods for the Power Armor, it works with all Standart Headlamps, Tested with Standart T-45,T-51-B. T-60,X-01 and Excavator Power Armor Helms
News Update :
1. The Mod Lamps ar not Affected cause, (as it semms at the moment) they use different light models in the nifs.
2. Its hard to find any Texture References by now, cause some tools like nifscope don't work with Fallout76 and you can't do all Modifications, especialy to the -nif meshes without that. If i find a way to alter the other Power Armor Headlamp Mods, i will add them to this.
Installation:
1. Extract .ba2 file into your Data folder
2. Edit your Fallout76Custom.ini file by adding Diranars_PALight_Up.ba2 to the SResourceArchiveList2 line.
For a unmodded Fallout76Custom.ini, it should be like this:
sResourceArchive2List = SeventySix - ATX_Main.ba2, SeventySix - ATX_Textures.ba2, Diranars_PALight_Up.ba2
3. Start up Fallout76 and enjoy your new much better Power Armor Helmet Lamp !
De-Installation :
1. Delete the Diranars_PALight_Up.ba2 from your Fallout76/Data Directory
2. Remove the Diranars_PALight_Up.ba2 from the Archive Line in the Fallout76Custom.ini

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 702 endorsements and nearly 30k downloads
- Solves a real problem for explorers who prefer Power Armor but hate the weak headlamp
- Works across all standard Power Armor helmets, tested by the author
⚠️ Cons
- Not compatible with modded helmet lamps, limiting customization options
- Last updated in 2018 — may not work with current Fallout 76 patches
- Requires manual .ini editing, which can be intimidating for beginners
For Fallout 76 players who love exploring in Power Armor but find the default headlamp too dim to spot loot. If you use standard helmets and want better visibility without switching to a different lamp mod, this is a solid pick. Skip if you rely on modded helmet lamps or prefer a more modern, updated mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to add the .ba2 filename exactly as written to the sResourceArchive2List line in Fallout76Custom.ini, or the mod won't load.
- If you have other archive mods, append Diranars_PALight_Up.ba2 to the existing list, separated by commas.
- Test the mod in a dark area (like a cave) to see the difference; if it doesn't work, double-check your ini syntax.
