| − | A '''light''' is a part that uses [[electricity]] or electric charge to shine a light. They can be used to provide visibility while landing at night or in a shaded area, and also to illuminate the craft itself. Electric lights are also useful for illuminating a rendez-vous target, such as a space station, if the vehicle is expecting to mate with a docking port that is in shade. For tidally locked moons like [[Mun]], [[Vall]] or [[Ike]], overnight landing missions are recommended to have any lights accompanied by large [[battery]] banks, or an [[RTG]], as one night can be very long.

| | | | |
| − | Currently, there are three major light sources. The [[Illuminator Mk1]] and [[Illuminator Mk2]] are the only dedicated light sources available. The [[Small Gear Bay]] also holds a light source which can be toggled. The [[Telus-LV Bay Mobility Enhancer]] also has a small electric light, though its light is too weak to illuminate anything other than its self, and can't be switched off. Parts with crew capacity introduced or updated since [[0.90]] have lighted windows, which light up the ambient area like jet engines do.

| − | With version [[1.0.5]], all dedicated lights, and the [[LY-10 Small Landing Gear]] can have their colors changed in the [[VAB]] and [[SPH]] using [[tweakable]]s. It is possible to change all three RGB color channels independently to produce nearly any color of light.

| − | In version [[1.0.5]] the overhauled and new jet engines with an afterburner or plume effect light up the area around them.
