Luminators will not draw power when connected directly to the output face of a [[Batbox]] or [[LV Transformer]]; they must be connected directly to a cable.  For a more subtle look, wire your cables and attach luminators before covering the cables in construction foam from a [[CF Sprayer]].

The higher the current, the more energy it will drain and the brighter it will get.

If you '''give it enough energy''', it will even '''emit powerful radioactive deathrays UV-rays''', which can be used to get a neat brown skin or to toast some undead.

Do you know what you can use all that power for other than heavy machinery?

Use it to create LIGHT, with the Luminator!

Luminators are machines coated in some stylish-looking glass that emit light when supplied with current. They change shape depending on the surface they're placed on: small squares on the ceiling, rectangles on a wall, and large squares on the floor or connected to a cable.

Of course creating light takes energy and so the Luminator will use 0.25 EU/t from an internal 10K EU storage (about 2 days worth of light). It can draw power from a connected power cable or, in IC2 v1.x, be recharged manually by right-clicking with a RE Battery or energy crystal (but not a Lapotron Crystal). Be careful, as right-clicking a luminator can also suck the power right out of a wielded power tool such as a drill—and the tool won't recharge from your BatPack.

Luminators will not draw power when connected directly to the output face of a Batbox or LV Transformer; they must be connected directly to a cable. For a more subtle look, wire your cables and attach luminators before covering the cables in construction foam from a CF Sprayer.

Energy[edit]

EU
Input 0.25 EU/t
Output -
Storage 10,000

Maximum Input: 32 EU/t before exploding

The luminator can only handle low voltage (32 EU) so it can only accept power from a batbox or an LV Transformer in step-down mode.

HAYO[edit]

Torches are too cheap for you?, well then the Dark Room Industries thin Tin Burner™ is your best bet!

Just apply 0.25EU/t (a single Water Mill will suffice!) to the end of the Copper Wire and Boom!

But wait, there is more!

If you order right now i will eightfold the offer!

We are fully aware that Tin is a terrible idea for this use and that a Gas Discharge Tube with Tungsten Wire would last a lot longer.

We are not responsible by burnings caused by molten metal.
