The bulb lights have always been very bright. Try using the industrial lights instead. They are a bit more expensive to make, but they are much better, imo. I wouldn't mind if they reduced the brightness of those bulb lights, though.

It's all based on your preference. I have no issue with the amount of light at night with those. Yes, they are more dim, but you can just add a few extra if needed. Anyhow, without a mod, you can't change brightness of the lights, so you'd need to choose which way you prefer. Drop a bulb light in a corner with something blocking it maybe.

Either way, yes, I would like the bulb light to not be so bright and I'd also like a way to adjust brightness of all the lights (and the color) just like in the POI Editor. There used to be a mod that could do that, but it didn't seem to be updated for 1.0, so probably won't be updated for 2.0.

yeah i think we are not quite understanding each other
the world lighting over land poi ext i love not to bad during the day very dim at night adds to exsitment and fun

but i have my base at bedrock so no natrual light during day time hours in game they work fine just like a bunker all good at 22:00 in game time they all go super dim that if i did not have a head torch on i would not see anything how can the world light effect my personally place bunker lights its dumb

and its powered by solar panals that are connected to a battery bank for night time not my first rodeo lol just daft how when itgets to night time my persoanl paced lights no longer give even 10% the light they do during the day

If they are changing brightness, that doesn't sound normal. The can appear to be a different brightness depending on other lighting, but they shouldn't change brightness.

If you changed the brightness in options to under 50%, maybe that's related. That directly affects only night brightness and not day brightness.
