Steel Square Fixture
A more modern way to light up a room.
Notes
The Steel Square Fixture is a mid-to-late-game lighting object placed on ceilings (attaches on its Up side) with a 2x1x2 footprint. It contributes a base housing value of 8 under the Lighting category, but because lights suffer diminishing returns—each repeat item in a room is worth only 70% of the previous—you get the most value from placing just one or a few per room rather than covering every ceiling.
