Base.LightBulb

A light bulb is an electrical item used in crafting.

Usage

Light bulbs are primarily used as a source of light, either in a lamp, wall-mounted light or vehicle headlights and taillights. If a light bulb is missing from any of these objects, no light will be displayed.

To add a light bulb to a vehicle, the player must have a screwdriver in their main inventory.

Light bulbs can be found in sheds, garages, houseware stores, kitchen counters and vehicle glove boxes.

A light bulb can be removed from any light or vehicle, requiring a screwdriver only when removed from a vehicle.

Effective chance calculations are based off of default 'apocalypse' loot settings, with no luck modifier, and average zombie density. The higher the density of zombies in an area, the higher the effective chance of an item spawning. Chance is also influenced by the lucky and unlucky traits. Duplicate entries do exist, but have been removed for clarity.
