Omnidirectional Lamppost — Detailed Guide
Electric light in every direction
The Omnidirectional Lamppost is a powered light source in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. It runs off an existing electrical grid, and unlike the 
Lamppost it sends light out in all directions. The ASA description reads "Requires electricity to activate. Lights a large area without adding much heat." In ASE the description speaks of lighting an area rather than a large one.
Unlocking and crafting
The engram unlocks at level 50 for 20 engram points, with the 
Standing Torch listed as its prerequisite. The lamppost is crafted in a 
Fabricator or a 
Tek Replicator from:
- 10
Crystal or 
Primal Crystal - 5
Metal Ingot or 
Scrap Metal Ingot - 2
Electronics
A craft takes 5 seconds and gives 7.2 XP. Each lamppost weighs 4 and stacks to 100, for 400 per full stack. Our records count 85 crate types that can contain it, among them the Aberration Purple and Aberration Red crates, and list it on 14 maps. The wiki gives 186.0 as the version that added it.
Placing the lamppost
- It needs no foundation, and the wiki notes that it therefore does not stop natural resources from spawning. It does not snap to other structures.
- It can stand underwater, but if its base is submerged it cannot be switched on.
- Its light currently passes through walls built by players, reaching areas it has no direct view of; the wiki mentions that players have asked for this to change in ASA.
- It counts as a wooden structure: hands, stone weapons and ranged attacks that do not explode cannot damage it, and neither can a list of aggressive creatures that includes the
Sabertooth, 
Raptor, 
Titanoboa, 
Direwolf and 
Giant Bee.
