Lamppost won't work

[Omaeka]

It's connected to an outlet which is connected to a generator, and it says that it is 'powered' and it is night yet there is no light coming from it, nothing... Any help?

Did you turn it on?

[Omaeka]

There is no option to turn it on, only 'set pin code' and then 'clear pin code' once I set one.

[xerxes]

No not the generator the lamppost, you have to turn on the lamp post.

[Omaeka]

Yeah I know, there is no option to turn it on or off.

This... Unless the lamp is underwater then it wont turn on.

When you look at it, there should be an option to press E to turn it on. If not, it sounds like the lamppost is bugged.

Well i guess you are borked then. Unless you can provide a SS i don't think i can help any more.

i had this happen when i broke a connector already connected to a post then replaced it, instead of turning on and off it only gave options to set a pin. Sadly u will just have to replace the post.

Change that angle your standing and make sure your not putting it to close to the wall or being blocked so you can't get close enuff to it

[Omaeka]

I have replaced the lamppost 3 times now and it isn't too close to anything, no matter what angle or height I look at it from it still only gives pin code options.

I had to replace the power box to get mine to stop doing this. Seems like every time you delete a wire or something it causes the electric boxes to bug out

Do you have water nearby? i had this problem once but i found out that my lamp was standing in water and i couldent turn the lamp on only got the change pin code.

You're positive the base of the post isn't touching water?

[Omaeka]

Seems that water was the problem, but the water in my base is like an inch deep and about a foot wide! :/

Set a pin and use a remote to turn the lights on. Suggesting this since you said it indicates it is powered so this should work. I have never had a problem turning on a light.
