Alright, some of the Dark brotherhood zones are way to dark, as well as the thieves guild zone.
So i was wonder what the code is, for working lanterns.

I can summon working lit torches, but those aren't quite what i'm looking for.

Once i summon it with the place at me code, i can use getpos/setpos and get/setangle to move it around no problem. But i haven't been able to find many light source codes to use with the placeatme command.

So if anyone knows some "item" codes i could use for working lanterns or light sources, i'd appreciate it. And yes i understand some of these zones are meant to be dark, but it's a little to dark, and i don't think i should need to use night-eye all the time.

go up to a lantern thats lit then open console and click it and it will show you the id code

It doesn't work like that. Every object ingame, has it's own ID. With exception of most items in an inventory, which uses a generic ID.
If you click on 1 lantern, and get the ID then go click on a different identical lantern, you'll get a different ID.

I need the base ID of a working lantern or candle plate, or candle stick or what ever nice bright light available.
This would be easy with the CK i could just bring up the list of lights, test a few out and figure out which one works the best, then i could get the base ID right there from the CK.

And i'm not really going to wait a month, just to place some lights around. so i can stop kicking buckets every few minutes.

Also i want to setup a little dressing area in my home, with lots of lights so i can check out some outfits. Candlelight (spell) kinda washes everything out, and the torch isn't bright enough by itself.

I'd love to be able to place lighting in my homes, in Morrowind I'd steal every blue candle I could find.

Yeah i just found out the zap code (markfordelete), so i been clearing room in my breezehome house, which is my favorite house.

Still need lantern baseID codes if anyone has them. I'll try later today when i get back home if the various tessnip etc can get me those codes, but that'll be a mess.
