Hey all,
I've recently got back into Rimworld with the 1.0 release and decided I would like some lights that automatically turned themselves off during the day, to save power when my colonists are busy cooking, smithing and all the other things they do.
So, this add-on was born. I've since added solar-powered lamps too (self-contained, just place them and they light up at night). Oh, and there's some low-tech lanterns too, including a holiday-themed pumpkin lantern that I got an idea for after watching my wife playing Sims 4.
Garden Lanterns
There are three garden lanterns available that can be built without any research needed. Functionally, they are the same as a torch, but hold twice as much "fuel" lasting for 40 days without needing to be re-fuelled.
Outdoor Lamps
A variant of the vanilla Standing Lamp, with additional properties:
Outdoor Solar Lamp
Identical to the Outdoor Lamp from this add-on, except:
Lamp Posts / Street Lamps
Taller and more powerful than the standard lamp:

Garden Lanterns
There are three garden lanterns available that can be built without any research needed. Functionally, they are the same as a torch, but hold twice as much "fuel" lasting for 40 days without needing to be re-fuelled.
- Standard garden lantern - gives off a slightly yellow light.
- Garden lantern (blue) - the same as the standard lantern, but with slightly different graphics and a blue tint to the light.
- Pumpkin lantern - there are no pumpkins on the rim, so this is carved from wood and reinforced with a bit of steel.
Outdoor Lamps
A variant of the vanilla Standing Lamp, with additional properties:
- Alternative graphics for the lamps.
- The outdoor lamps automatically turn off at 07:00 to save power during the day. They automatically turn back on at 17:00.
- Once Colored Lighting has been researched, they can be built in a variety of colours, including: red, blue, green, purple, and orange.
Outdoor Solar Lamp
Identical to the Outdoor Lamp from this add-on, except:
- No need to run power to these lamps - they power themselves by absorbing energy during the day! They can also be easily moved when needed.
- Visually different - the small solar panel can be seen by the lamp, making it easy to see which lamps are which.
Lamp Posts / Street Lamps
Taller and more powerful than the standard lamp:
- Larger pool of light, in a variety of colours (requires Colored Lighting has been researched).
- Provides limited cover in a gun fight.
- Provides limited cover in a gun fight.
