There is an issue with worklights, its being investigated, this however is the reverse of the bug which was reported, I will test and try to duplicate.

Edit: Duplicated and can confirm, I forwarded on with a picture to the Dev team. Thanks for reporting.

Excuse me mr Soulblazer, i dont want to hog your thread, and i dont want to create a new thread within this topic. (feel free to delete my post if im breaking the rules)

While on the topic, is it possible to reduce the focused lightbeam and brightness of the worklight? As it is now, it shines very bright, and very focused on a small area.
Considering the intensity of the lightbeam, some light should brighten up areas around the lightbeam source but it doesent. You can have 2 worklight beams next to eachother, and the light source is not even lightning up the small dark area between the two bright areas.

It makes the portable worklight less efficient. Ive found a way to get me some descent light at night while mining, but its far from efficient and you might lose a few worklights in the process.
They are cheap to craft, but im sure they are supposed to be more useful as a lightsource as they currently are.

Omnidirectional Light source for the win.... Pu tit on a a pole and make it light up everything around it... Mainly below it...

I have forwarded some ideas to the devs regarding these comments, specifically about worklight radius and a new light on a pole.

Work Light Glitch

Version: Pre-Alpha 2.24 0151
Reproducibility: Sometimes
Severity: Major

Summary: If you onlyhave 1 work light you can act as if you have multiple and can hold in the build as if you are placing multiple and you will get 2 from 1 light. I also put a work light on one of the rocks by the 2 silicon deposits not far off from where you first start and i was able to pick up the light as many times as i wanted in survival

Description: Gives the ability to gain mutiple lights and scrap them in survival

Steps to Reproduce 1. have 1 work light 2. place as if u have multiple 3. 2 will spawn from 1 and u can pick it up to get two/////// 1. Place the work light on the rock by the silicon deposits 2. Pick it up but it wont disappear 3.Keep doing so and u will keep getting work lights
