Sconce light radius is almost nonexistent

The light cast by Sconces is infinitesimal... it barely lights the wall it's on, let alone the surrounding area. I think the falloff and radius of all lights is WAY too harsh, even when you litter the walls with lights every 2 feet it's still dark everywhere. Plus we can only put them on walls, not pillars, which makes it even worse. And for floors more than one wall high, they are the only option, as there is no way to increase the chains/hang distance of the ceiling lights.

TL;DR please greatly increase the radius and falloff of all wall sconces, it's pretty dismal in here. THanks :)

    How about letting us adjust the intensity and radius ourselves?

    I would also like to be able to change the "colour(?)" of the light.

    The Rustic Sconces seem to have a nice warm light to them, but any one the T2 or T3 lights seem to just have a cold white light, I would like to change that so they give off a more warm glow like the Rustic Sconce.

    Light sources do not emit enough light to illuminate any amount of an estate, not to mention large/huge estates with grand halls.

    Yes lighting has always been bad.

    I put chandeliers on every ceiling tile and it's still pretty dim plus the chandeliers are actually so low you can bump your head on one.

    Also it is not clear how the Tiers affect light, if at all.

    The light radius seems to vary; sometimes I log in and it seems brighter, sometimes if seems very dim even with windows and multiple light sources. Things like a fire are extremely bright however. Sometimes this seems to resolve if I sleep and wake at dawn. The day/light cycle gets a little wonky sometimes.

    This goes for all lighting in general, it is atmospheric but actually legitimately difficult to see anything even if you invest in more light sources

    No Mans Sky has the same lighting problem. I am guessing this is simply a performance tweak and if so, please allow us a setting for how our computers handle lighting. One game I play has a setting to limit the number of dynamic light sources and it works really well.

    I agree. The light is way too small and way too harsh blue/white. I miss the warm yellow glow of my pre 0.5 home. My house it pitch black and uninviting now and I have a dozen lights all throughout it. The sconces are terrible. :(
