Better vanilla Lights

Description
This Mod makes some adjustments to all the Vanilla and DLC lights
note: I count DLC as vanilla lights too, so you will need the warfare II DLC to have the searchlights and Light panel to use them and the Wasteland DLC to use the Offset light

Update 2025/04
I added the floodlights they have the same range as the regular spotlights 1600 m for large and 800 m for small

It increases the Max range on all of them

Here is the new light's radius:
Spotlight: Large is 1600 m and small 800 m
Light panel: Large 150 m and small 75 m
Interior lights: Large 40 m and small 20 m
Corner and double corner Lights: Large 60 m and small 25 m
offset light: 40m
Offset spotlight: 300m

searchlight
The large one has AI aiming at 2000 m and 1600 light radius
The small one has AI aiming at 1400 m and 800 m light radius

Those are not added Blocks but the original blocks that I tweaked the specs

Reason for this mod
Before I had a mod for the spotlight one for the searchlight, and another mod to add a block with a lantern that could light a large area, so I would not use 100 interior lights in my bases/ships

This way I diminished the number of mods I used and since they are all original blocks I can use the BP in other gameplay without missing any blocks

@jay the offset spotlight was already increased from 60m to 100m
I just increased it to 300m

Awesome mod! not a lot else out there that really lets you have lights this powerful.
Would it be possible to increase the offset spotlight as well? I really like the look but it's not that useful by comparison now. Maybe 200-400 ish meters?
I will use this mod 100% regardless. Thank you!!

@Everyone
I updated and increased the range of all the lights instead of just the spotlights searchlights and light panels. I hope you like the new ranges

Oh and thanks!

I do think 25&10 for the corner lights sounds a little bit short, especially on the large grid since they're so much bigger than the other three. I don't want to tell you what to do though, these are just suggestions! :)

@M4A1 Carbine
i could increase the rest of the lights maybe make the interior light about 50&25 m ranges
and the corner light about half of that 25&10 m ranges would that be enough for you ?

That way you have a reason to use different type of lights

Wow, spotlights are actually useful now! Would you consider adding the other vanilla/DLC lights as well please? I specifically use the corner lights as landing lights and a better range on those would be great!
