Expanded Lights
Add new lights that are much more convenient for lighting areas: Floodlight, Tile Light, LED Light. Additionally, Ceiling Light and Lamp have smooth lighting, and produce less heat.
Highly recommended to use with Lights Out.
Floodlight: Rotatable. An industrial light that consumes 30W and illuminates a 5 x 16 rectangular at a brightness of 2000 Lux (no falloff) at the cost of a heavy decor penalty. Costs 100 kg of refined metal, and is unlocked with Low-Resistance Conductors.
LED Light: A high-tech light that produces no heat, consuming 2W to light a circular area. Can be built anywhere. Costs 50 kg of refined metal and 50 kg of plastic, and is unlocked with Catalytics.
Tile Light: Rotatable. A tiny light that can be embedded in other tiles, consuming 5W and illuminating a similar area and brightness as a Ceiling Light. Is a background layer building, meaning it can be built within tile. Costs 50 kg of plastic, and is unlocked with Artistic Expression.
Ceiling Light: Produces 100 DTU/s (down from 500 DTU/s). Additionally, light is cast in a semicircle.
Lamp: Consumes 4W (down from 8W) and produces 100 DTU/s (down from 500 DTU/s).

Many thanks to Peter Han and his PLib, without which I couldn’t have implemented new kinds of lighting.
