However that same lone sun lamp in an 11x11 double-walled space (a square fitting the growing area lit by the sun lamp, similar to the image above right) only slowly heated to around 18☌ (65☏) over the course of a day before it turned back off. In a 10☌ (50☏) environment (the minimum temperature for plants to grow), a single sun lamp in a 1x2 space, surrounded by double walls, heated to a final maximum of around 85-90☌ (185-190☏).

(* Experimentation shows that sun lamps can significantly heat a very small space, but not a full "growing area". Double-width walls provide more insulation against temperature changes (and thus save power on heaters or coolers), as well as offering better protection from attacks. Solar flares will cut the power, so prepare a shelf with emergency wood to build campfires to keep the room temperature above -10☌/14☏ (below which most plants will rapidly die). Sun lamps allow indoor growing but don't produce significant* heat for an area as large as they light, so heaters may be required to attain proper conditions for plant growth. There are 10 empty tiles per sun lamp, half as many as in a simple grid pattern. Īn efficient pattern to fit multiple sun lamps together. This energy-use pattern means that while they have a peak power draw of -2,900 W, they only consume -1595 W⋅Days, and that they can be efficiently powered by solar panels.Ī sun lamp heats at a rate of 3 heat per second (see greenhouses, below).
Sun lamps automatically turn themselves on at 06:00, and then off again at 19:12 to save power while the plants are resting. Once installed, the lamp menu offers the option to create a growing zone that matches that lit radius (100 tiles in total and excluding the center tile occupied by the lamp itself). Multiple overlapping sunlamps do not add to the speed of crop growth once crops have the light they need, they don't need any more. Once the blueprint has been placed, the light radius won't be visible again until the lamp has been built (but you can easily select "Build copy" and place it over the original to renew the visual footprint for quick reference). The lamp blueprint will show the outline of its plant-growing light radius until it is placed. It is constructed with 40 Steel in 330 ticks ( 5.5 secs) after Electricity has been researched.Ī sun lamp will illuminate tiles within a five-tile radius at 100%, enough for any crops to grow, and then another 8 tiles beyond that (13 total) at over 30%, enough for colonists to move and perform any work without penalty. This not only speeds up plant growth, but allows a colony a roofed "indoors" area to temperature-control its growing fields, and protects the crops from unpredictable events such as toxic fallout and volcanic winters. Sun lamps provide artificial light to roofed growing zones (greenhouses) at high power expense (2,900 watts).
