What it does

This script makes a prim emit warm white light that turns on automatically when the sun sets and turns off when it rises. It checks the sun's position every 30 seconds to determine day or night.

Settings you can change

Edit these at the top of the script. Everything works on the defaults · change them only when you need to.

LAMP_COLOR RGB color vector for the light. Default is warm white (1.0, 0.85, 0.6). Range 0.0 to 1.0 per channel. ·

LAMP_INTENSITY Brightness of the light. Default 0.6. Range 0.0 to 1.0, higher is brighter. ·

LAMP_RADIUS How far the light reaches in meters. Default 8.0. Increase for wider coverage. ·

LAMP_FALLOFF How quickly light dims with distance. Default 0.75. Higher values make light fade faster. ·
