Free Light, by Mattb325.
---------------------------------------

The idea for this upload came from a post in the "Can't find it, ask here" thread which asked for functional lights that can be freely placed to provide a lit path through fields, forests, highways etc.

While there are a couple of similar mods, they tend to use very bright lights and aren't that suited to pedestrian areas. 

To that end, I have made two 1x1 lots: one with the standard Maxis $$ lamppost (which will change depending on whether you have a light replacement mod) and a HD lamppost with a nifty in-built solar panel from the SHK parking pack.

There is no base texture on these lots and they are modded in such a way as to allow MMPs to be placed right up against the lamppost. They are slope tolerant. They are found in the park menu.

The lots themselves are completely neutral: $0 to place/maintain and zero effects. 

However, because both of these lights use the maxis light-cone as part of the illumination, you do need to ensure that there is a power source in your city (note the cheat: "fight the power" won't work with these effects) in order for them to illuminate in night mode.

These lights can be placed a maximum of four (4) tiles apart from each other/another powered lot and still illuminate.

These are very simple lots, but I was quite surprised that there isn't really anything similar already available, so I whipped these up.

What can I say...
Came here hopping for something amazing, and I end up finding just that and more.
I've been looking for this for a long time, and now finally here it is.
It will be used to exhaustion on my cities.
Once again... 10/10

Amongst all those small but irreplaceable inventions like suspenders, band-aid, pins and ballpoint pens now there is also free light. Paulo is absolutely right - you amaze us.
