Summary0008594: Better indoor lighting
DescriptionVarious types of ceiling lamps provide the main source of light in most buildings. However, in taller rooms, the light from the ceiling lamps doesn't reach the floor. I don't mind having some dark areas in buildings, but it doesn't make sense to have the floor in a room with working lights (presumably placed there by humans who spend most of their time near the floor) be one of them.

This could be improved by either:
1) making floor lamps, or wall lamps that spawn close to the floor, or
2) increasing the radius of light from ceiling lamps (perhaps allowing them to light a vertical cone below them, so one doesn't light the whole room but does light the floor below it).

I agree. There is absolutely no way that any civilization of any reasonable technological development would use such weak light-bulbs or lamps for large rooms. ;)

Most areas outside of caves shouldn't require anything for basic light.

I think most pre-gen lights should have a higher radius.

The best things have is the lunar lamps, and some of the actual lights from "electrical sources" like the ceiling, should have that kind of light.

The rooms were properly lit before the cataclysm rearranged everything.
