For example at 50 daylight a solar generator produces 850w of its 1700w maximum.
Rimworld how many solar panels for a sun lamp.
A sun lamp will illuminate tiles within a five block radius at 100 and outside tiles at only 50 or less.
I do miss the 1 1 ratio but i don t consider it unbelievably absurdly high.
A solar panel at max output is 1700 or more.
This is because during the night only half of the extra 1450 w will effectively charge the batteries storing 8 700 wh of energy 360 wd.
It s still pretty cheap if you consider they only run while the sun is normally up meaning 2 solar panels can power a grow zone that sustains a 10 20 population colony and is immune to all map conditions.
They use a good deal of power about the same as a solar panel puts out during full daylight in fact so having a large greenhouse lit with them is quite power expensive.
A sun lamp is used to grow crops indoors.
Power output is a direct product of the daytime light level.
But i have no idea if they work at all and if they do i ll bet it s less than 100 light per sun lamp.
Adding 1 battery was enough to extend the evening lighting until the resting time.
This setup will use 4580w at day and 1680w at night a solar generator produces 1700w and a geothermal generator 3600w so 2 4 solar generators and a few batteries or one geothermal generator are needed to power it.
There s a mod with time of day switches that makes it a lot less hassle.
Sun lamps automatically turn themselves off at night to save power while the plants are resting.
A sun lamp uses 1600 kw.
Essentially takes two solar panels to power one sun lamp in a normal sun cycle biome.
Batteries are a useful supplement to solar generators since they will store power during the day and keep the base online through the night.
None of the power costs make sense on anything.
Sun lamps provide artificial light to roofed growing zones greenhouses at high power expense 2 900 watts.
For a regular base without mods i recommend using 2 solar panels instead of a geo for a single sun lamp with a battery because geo is better used for other electricity that are constanly at use.
It is possible to fit 24 hydroponics basins inside the brightly lit area of a sun lamp with the following configuration.
This will only be enough to power the sun lamp for 6 hours during the day.
For my last colony spring 11 to fall 6 iirc 3 solar panels was just enough for 2 lights.
Use them either with roofed over arable land or with hydroponics basins.
