Electric Arcs Should Emit Light - Mageziya - 01-30-2016
Currently, electrical arcs (From things like Overpowered APCs, Voltagen, Power Gloves, ect.) give off no light. With the new lighting system, I could imagine it looking rather great.
I suppose this all comes down the limitations of the byond. The electric arcs look fairly procedural, so I wouldn't be surprised if lighting them causes lag or other problems. Also, there seem to be a billion other projects going on right now, making this a rather low priority if its possible.

Without lag being addressed first I can't say I'd be happy with more crazy lightshows adding to it.
But yeah sure, if devs can guarantee It's not going to murder the server.
