{{Info|A '''flood light''' is a [[furniture]] item that produces [[light]] in a wide radius.}}

== Summary ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=General. See [[Standing lamp]] for example. A tiles lit/watt comparisonwould also be good.}}
Flood lights require substantially more steel to build and power to run than standing lamps (50 steel vs 20 steel, and 100 W vs 30 W). Although flood lights provide a larger light radius, the maximum light intensity is still only 50%. That is, one cannot be used as a grow light and, if using [[Anomaly DLC]], they aren't any better for containing entities. As a result, the increased light radius is the only reason to choose a flood light over another type of light fixture.

== Advanced lights ==
{{Stub|reason=Written detail on menu, options, color mixing in overlapping light radii etc. Verify that flood lights change colors|section=1}}
With the [[Research#Advanced lights|Advanced lights]] research, the power cost of flood lights are halved, to {{#expr:-0.5*{{P|Power Consumption}}}}W of power. Note that flood lights require Advanced Lights to construct, so they will only require {{#expr:-1*{{P|Power Consumption}}}}W if you acquire them some other way. Lights can also be changed to a variety of different colors, which have no gameplay effect. Lights of different colors will blend together.

== Analysis ==
{{stub|section=1}}
When it comes to lighting up large areas, the massive radius of flood lights is in many cases more convenient and power-efficient when compared to wall lamps or standing lamps. Although more compact rooms are usually better lit by smaller lamps, outside areas greatly benefit from the massive range. 
{{Anomaly}}
Flood lights are a vital preventative defense against [[Unnatural darkness]]. A [[Noctolith]] or even a [[Void structure]] can spawn in most unlit places, including one's base, which can be catastrophic for unprepared colonies. However, the large radius of a flood light makes it much easier to remove "blind spots," ensuring that hostile structures are kept away from vulnerable areas.
