# Lights

Lamps and real game lights.

Pick the **Lights** tool (`L`) and click inside a room for a ceiling light, or next to a wall for a wall lamp.

## Lamp Types

Round, Square, Strip, Spot, Pendant, Chandelier, Bulb, Wall lamp and **Light only** (a light with no lamp).

## Selected Light

| Option        |                             |
| ------------- | --------------------------- |
| Colour        | Colour picker and 5 presets |
| Lamp shape    | Any of the 9 types          |
| Range         | 2-20                        |
| Brightness    | 1-20                        |
| Casts shadows | On or off                   |

**Go there** and **Delete**.

Lights are **real game lights** in the finished shell.

{% hint style="info" %}
A room can also get a light from its room panel (**Add light**), and the Checks add one to every dark room with one click.
{% endhint %}

## Time & Weather Inside

In the **Shell** tab you set the time of day and the weather players see inside the shell. A room can be set to night or day on its own. Players inside never get rain, and they get their own time and weather back when they leave.

## Remove (H)

Point at anything - a wall, a door, a light, a prop or a detail - and click to remove it. Undo brings it back.
