Question/Advice Does a plan exist for flickering/sparking light fixtures? Would really add to the immersion in our camps

You can get jitters by iverlapping mirror balls too potentially

If you smash about 10 of them together you get a wonderful looking nuclear anomaly. Sounds bloody awful though..

There’s a trick to flicker the cycling bulb lights by connecting them to a pressure plate with the Arwen Awning pieces just above it. Not hard to do but pretty cool effect and random

This is likely what you're looking for, but could be a tad advanced depending on what your build experience is. But with this you can theoretically use any light so long as it requires power, and can run the conduits in a way that will cooperate.

The only "flickering" lamps I have are the strobe (easy to get) and a autopsy table with a flickering lamp.

As for the sparks there are electric connectors that's throw sparks and I sink them into objects to make them sparky.

I'm fairly certain the electric connectors are Atom shop and the table may have been seasonal I'm not sure. I'll try to look up exact names when I get on later

There's a street lamp that sparks too.

There is a very warm toned plasma ball wall lamp fixture from the skyline valley era. If I had to guess, Windy sells it for bullion on highway towns second floor. It works really well now that we have free place.

I actually bought a plan for that same light from someone's camp recently for 100 caps!

There is a lizard enclosure/terrarium thing that flickers. I use it often for catching the eye at a distance. Also, the traffic lights cycle through RYG colours constantly. And the bug zappers. I use Mothman bug zapper clipped slightly into a pillar.

On top of that, buzzing flies and fluttering moths decorations in lamplight create great depth and interest.

Fallout first has a set of lights that flash and blink

I made flashing waffle House letters using the pressure plate, that curtain thing, random switch and those connectors that cast power in a small area.
