Steam Lights & Lamps — Detailed Guide
Electric lighting from the Steampunk Ascent pack
Steam Lights & Lamps are a lighting structure in ARK: Survival Ascended. The ARK Wiki places them in the Steampunk Ascent adventure pack, which is part of the DLC ARK: Bob's Tall Tales. The game's description sums up the trade-off: "Requires electricity to activate. Lights an area without adding much heat." So the lamp needs a power supply before it glows, and in return it brightens a space without warming it much.
Four styles to place
The structure comes in four variants to pick from:
- Ground Steam Light
- Ceiling Steam Light
- Wall Steam Light
- Desk Steam Light
Unlocking and crafting the lights
The engram needs level 48 and 10 engram points. The lights are built in a 
Fabricator or a 
Tek Replicator from:
- 10
Metal Ingot (or 
Scrap Metal Ingot) - 8
Crystal (or 
Primal Crystal) - 1
Electronics
A craft takes 5 seconds and gives 7.2 XP.
Storage, crates and maps
Each light weighs 4 and a stack holds 100, so a full stack comes to 400. Our records count 8 crate types that can contain one, for example the Aberration Blue and Aberration Purple crates on Aberration and Valguero and the Aberration Surface Blue crate. The item is listed on 9 maps, including The Island, Scorched Earth, Extinction and Astraeos.
