Surface Mounted Lights

The stock light parts are designed to light the distant objects. However, the station itself needs some lighting to be usable when passing thru the dark side of the celestial body. The lighting parts in this mod are designed to highlight the surface, on which they are mounted.

Omni Light

Illuminates a small area on the vessel's surface.

Spot Light

Illuminate the parts and objects at a small distance.

4Way Spot light

A special version of the spot light that emits light in 4 perpendicular directions. Each light can be adjusted and controlled independently.

Features

• The stock lights get an ability to change the lens color. It make them looking much cooler.

• All light parts, including the stock ones, can be adjusted in flight when EVA. The following properties can be adjusted:
  • On/OFF status. Even if the vessel that owns the part is not controllable.
  • Color of the light.
  • The light part lens intensity. In Advanced Tweakables mode only.
  • The spotlight angle. In Advanced Tweakables mode only.
  • The light range. In Advanced Tweakables mode only.
