I too have been disappointed by my inability to sufficiently light my base, but unless I did my math wrong, this thing's power consumption is silly.

Going by the numbers on the wiki, it should use 6 units of power to run the light for a minute, while a seamoth should also use 6 power to travel at full speed for 25 seconds.

One light takes nearly half as much power as running around at 45kph in a small submarine - with the headlights on. Apparently. A dozen lights and you might as well just have a little fleet of seamoths patrolling your base on autopilot instead.
