Is fine if electrical network never had power, but once it's had it once it then needs it, even though not used

Guessing hidden light entity blocks the power poles being blueprint able over themselves and also the circuit wires fail as pre requisite power poles blueprint does.

Add an optional power drain per light as % of normal lights power cost. Defaults to 0%, no power usage.

Add note that with 0 power drain lights are on without active electric network, but with any set power drain they need an active electric network.

If this is much more UPS efficient then look to add support for other buildings and belts.

can't use fast replace on the electric poles from small to medium power poles. guessing the invisible entities block them.

The explosion prototype can generate a light.

They appear to be suitable for use when lights have 0 power usage. They will be on the whole time, but their lighted area isn't visible during daytime. No animation will be visible. No need for mini electric poles in this power usage setting.

If power watts is required then you need to use a lamp prototype anyway for power drain. For this you must have an electric network over the lamp anyways, so no need for any mini electric poles.

By not needing the current mini electric network for turrets the mod could light up all building types for 0 UPS.

in theory current is fine, but encourages potential dangerous code.
change to be on_load only maps to global and have seperate creation of global contents under on OnStartup

Have Creative Mode mod active with instant deconstruction enabled

1: Place electric pole
2: Use Deconstruction Planner to remove the electric pole
3: hidden light is left behind

Instant blueprint does work by default.

Way to remove all inbuilt lights and re-add them. Needed to clean up my custom entities after something has gone wrong. caused by an unsupported mod so far.

need to register for the dollies moved event and update my hidden entities at the time.

Event table returned with the event
    player_index = player_index, --The index of the player who moved the entity
    moved_entity = entity, --The entity that was moved
    start_pos = position --The position that the entity was moved from
}
--In your mods on_load and on_init, create an event handler for the dolly_moved_entity_id
--Adding the event registration in on_load and on_init you should not have to add picker as an optional dependency
if remote.interfaces["picker"] and remote.interfaces["picker"]["dolly_moved_entity_id"] then
    script.on_event(remote.call("picker", "dolly_moved_entity_id"), function_to_update_positions)
end

Add options to enable lighting on other entity types. Will be base game types to ensure full mod compatibility. Settings will be as a percentage of building size. As an Assembly machine type building could range from 1 to 20+ tiles wide.
Utilise changes from pull request #1 to facilitate this.

add a mod option to require research to unlock the inbuilt lighting feature. defaults to not required.
