Searchlight

This light hangs on the ceiling and produces a high amount of light.
Very great to light up dark caves or other dark spots. Turn on with right click.
The Searchlight also supports Mesecons mod if installed.

Spotlight

Place this on the floor. If you turn it on with right-click, it produces a high amount of light as a small ray to heaven. The Spotlight also supports Mesecons mod if installed.

Very nice! I noticed that if the search light is placed high up from the ground, there is a dark area underneath the light.
Look! I have a signature :]

You have to place more searchlights a bit away to each other to remove the dark patches

Hi,

Good mod, we use it on our server for its effectiveness,
I just noticed that when you place a searchlight on
ceiling in a room, the light is reflected in several block
below passing through the ground.
"One chunk, two chunks, three chunks..."

Yes, thats true, I made some tries with stopping if hitting a massive node, but it was realy bad and not performant. In the next version I might let it stop if it hits any node other than air.

Is this something to do with this mod? Just a server startup message

Normaly you shouldn't care about this. Everything is working right. Its not a bug of this mod, its because a new limitation of the Minetest engine. They limited the maximum light source from 15 to 14 for no reason.

But you can download version 1.1 of this mod to keep the warning quite.
In this version I also added some ideas from posts above.
