Description
# ⚡ MekaLights ⚡
**One block. Full base lighting. Powered by Mekanism.**
Stop torch-spamming your caves, factories and farms. Place one **MekaLight Block**, feed it Mekanism power, pick a shape, range and brightness — the machine floods the area with invisible, full-brightness light emitters. One block, up to a **48-block radius**, zero clutter.
> 🟢 **Actively developed** — balance and features may still change.
