A sun lamp provides artificial sunlight enabling plants to grow indoors. It can be used in conjunction with [[hydroponics basin]]s. Sun lamps need to be protected by a roof, otherwise exposure to rain and snow will cause a short circuit with a fiery explosion. Sun lamps don't produce heat, so temperature control devices may be required to maintain a healthy temperature for plants. Selecting the lamp opens its menu which offers the option to create a growing zone around it which exactly matches the shape of the lamp's light radius. Sun lamps automatically turn themselves off at night when plants are resting. The excess power produced during the night can be saved up by employing [[Battery|batteries]].
  
A Sun lamp is a device used to assist plantation growth indoors by providing artificial sunlight. It also support [[hydroponics basin]]s efficiency.  Sun lamps exposed to the open are vulnerable to weather, rain and snow, risking short circuit, fire explosion and damage to its surroundings. Selecting the lamp opens up it`s menu which offers the option to create a growing zone around it which exactly matches the shape of the lamp`s light radius. Once the temperature within reaches 0 grade celsius, the ground will be ready to work. Sun lamps automatically turn themselves off at night when plants are resting.

A sun lamp will brightly illuminate (100%) tiles within a five-block radius. Tiles outside the highlighted area will still be illuminated, but only at 60% or less.
A sun lamp uses over 30 times as much power as a [[standing lamp]] does, and therefore shouldn't be used to only light up a room, especially if it's a small room.

A sun lamp provides artificial sunlight enabling plants to grow indoors. It can be used in conjunction with hydroponics basins. Sun lamps need to be protected by a roof, otherwise exposure to rain and snow will cause a short circuit with a fiery explosion. Sun lamps don't produce heat, so temperature control devices may be required to maintain a healthy temperature for plants. Selecting the lamp opens its menu which offers the option to create a growing zone around it which exactly matches the shape of the lamp's light radius. Sun lamps automatically turn themselves off at night when plants are resting. The excess power produced during the night can be saved up by employing batteries.

Light radius

A sun lamp will brightly illuminate (100%) tiles within a five-block radius. Tiles outside the highlighted area will still be illuminated, but only at 60% or less.
