Ceiling Light

A small ceiling mounted light source.

The Ceiling Light is an electrical device in Rust that draws 2 rW of power while it runs. It has 1 input and 1 output to connect, and 300 health once placed. You craft it at a Level 1 Workbench, and its blueprint costs 20 scrap to research.

About the Ceiling Light

Of everything on its raid list, the Homing Missile costs the least sulfur: a single one destroys it for 100 sulfur.

On the tech tree it sits behind 4 other unlocks: Small Rechargeable Battery, Large Solar Panel, Water Wheel and Switch. Only one vendor sells it: the Farming for 30 scrap. In all, 23 loot sources drop it; the full list of where it drops gives the chance for each.

How much power the Ceiling Light uses

At full output, one generator runs this many of them at once: 10 on a Large Solar Panel, 15 on a Water Wheel, 20 on a Small Generator and 75 on a Wind Turbine. A fully charged battery keeps one running for 3.3 hours on a Small Rechargeable Battery, 3.1 days on a Medium Rechargeable Battery and 8.3 days on a Large Rechargeable Battery. Whatever power reaches it beyond its own 2 rW goes on through its output to the next device.
