Lights not working in vault

[selo]

Ok so for some reason the lights in my vault don't work, when I first got the vault-tec workshop the lights worked perfectly for two days now whenevr I try to place down new lights they just don't light up and it says they require power when I have more than enough generators powering my vault. Does anyone know how I can get the lights working again?

In workshop mode, go to power, connectors, and place some "Vault-tec conduits" around your vault, they will radiate power much like pylons. Lights close enough will be powered

This, and also be aware that you might need to run some wires or conduits to awkward places, too, or you end up with dead spots. I didn't have to run too many, but I did have to run some. You can also put some on the roof the vault where it can't be seen - I have normal power connectors all over the roof of mine so the lights on the very top work.

I like to place them on the outside walls of the vault, that way they aren't seen. Except where I need power inside, such as experiments. Also make sure your vault is all connected physically with vault pieces. That way there will be no dead spots

Ok so I need to place more than one vault power conduit?

I have placed multiple vault power conduits and even tried placing a light right next to it and it still says there is no power going to lights

Check and make sure that you've got an atrium door at the bottom of the ramp. If that piece isn't there, the power won't flow.

I ran wires from the generator out in the entrance area inside - I should have thought to mention that. I also have multiple other generators that attach to my vault one way or another, including another Vault-Tec generator inside the main part of my vault. I like to err on the side of absurd overpowering, and I think my vault is the most extreme case of it so far.
