Thread: I want to be able to turn off the lights!

So I recently changed the decor of my shop. Being right outside Mos Eisley, I wanted to capture the seedy atmosphere of the city that it deserves. So I created a bar/lounge with different vendors looking like patrons.


Now comes the problem. I cannot turn down the built in overhead lighting in the house. I want a better effect for the candles and the dark corners that I'm trying to create.


Simple things like light toggles are one of the reasons we need a building overhaul these days.



"Jedi claims of being "broken" are like saying "But my TV isn't widescreen! It's broken! My TV can't show high-def pictures in 1080i, it can only do 720i! It's broken!" Meanwhile, crafters are saying "We'd really like to have a TV that's larger than 12" and gets more than 4 channels and doesn't constantly lose vertical control", and entertainers are saying "Can we get some color instead of this B&W piece of junk?" And smugglers? We're listening to radio programs of "The Shadow" and "The Abbot and Costello Comedy Hour" and hearing FDR's Fireside Chats. We don't even HAVE a damn TV, much less a broken one or a "broken" one by Jedi standards. I'd LOVE to be as "broken" as they are." - The Legendary Solo4114

that sounds tight, light swtiches in each room with dim controls from 1-5. Soi can have that romantic dinner with me an a rancor steak. WOOT!

Thats a really good idea..

Instead of something like a switch, could also just put it in the structure terminal, to turn down the lights or to turn them up and also, on or off.

That's what I was thinking too.

That would be cool. It's hard to sleep in my bed room unless I pick up the lights.

It would be cool if you could blow out candles and relight them too.

I've wanted something like this for a long time, its unfair that the only way to get a nightclub feel in a cantina is to live on coronet or talus.

i think an on/off and a few levels of dimmer settings would be wonderful!
