Illuminate Your Path: Harnessing Light in Sons of the Forest

In Sons of the Forest, players are thrust into a survival horror experience on an island infested with cannibals. Battling against enemies is tough, but the challenges of outdoor living add another layer of difficulty. Tasks like building shelter, hunting for food, and staying hydrated are crucial for survival in the forest. Depending on the chosen difficulty level, these tasks can be quite daunting. However, players have the advantage of using functional light bulbs to illuminate their home bases.

While the majority of the island is primitive, there are a few technological items scattered around for players to discover. At the beginning of the game, players have access to tools such as a GPS, Flashlight, and even a 3D Printer. Light bulbs are just one of the modern conveniences that can make life in the forest a bit easier. Just like in real life, players will need a source of electricity to power these light bulbs. This guide will show players where to find light bulbs and how to effectively use them in Sons of the Forest.

To get Light Bulbs in Sons of the Forest, players can find them scattered throughout the forest or obtain them by defeating certain enemies.

Find Light Bulbs on the Island

Light bulbs are often found in abandoned campsites, underground bunkers, or near 3D printers. To gather a good amount of them, remember to check inside all the crates you encounter. Keep in mind that light bulbs cannot function on their own. If players wish to use light bulbs for their constructions, they will also need three other items: ****solar panels, wiring, and golf cart batteries.

Like light bulbs, all three items cannot be crafted and can only be picked up in areas where they spawn. The most common of the three are wires, which are found at most campsites, cannibal camps, and crash sites. Solar panels and battery packs are harder to find. Players can get at least one solar panel from inside the Entertainment Bunker, but there are more in crates on the island. Battery packs are found in most maintenance areas and near golf carts.

Spawn Light Bulbs (And Other Items) Using Cheats

Players have the ability to modify their save files and utilize cheats in Sons of the Forest. This allows them to spawn items and enemies, revive NPCs, and speed up their travel.

Start by building an upright square frame using logs on the corner of the base shelter.

Fill in the frame using planks made by splitting logs. An arrow will appear where the planks can be dropped.

Place a solar panel across the planks. It will slot it automatically, and a wire will appear.

Grab wire from the inventory and run it along all the logs.

Finally, place light bulbs in their desired places on the wired logs.

Voila - now there’s electricity in Sons of the Forest.

Light bulbs need to be attached to wires and a solar panel in order to work. The color of the bulb indicates whether there is power. No color means there is no connection, so adjust the wires. A red color means there is a connection but not enough power, while green means they are connected and ready to go.

To use electricity at night, attach a battery pack to a solar panel.

Players have the option to utilize ****solar panels for lighting and electric fences in the game. Electric fences serve as an effective deterrent against cannibals as they will be shocked and immobilized upon contact.
