This article is about the parts which generate light. For the properties about light in general, see light.

A light is a part that use electricity to shine a light, they can be used to help with landing at a dark side. Currently, there are only three light sources. The Illuminator Mk1 and Illuminator Mk2 are the only dedicated light sources available. The Small Gear Bay also holds a lightsource which can be toggled. The Telus-LV Bay Mobility Enhancer also has a small electric light, though it is only useful to illuminate itself and can't be switched off. For tidally locked moons like Vall or Ike those are recommended, as one night might be very long.

With version 0.23.5 all dedicated light sources can change different colors using tweakables. It is possible to change all three RGB color channels.
