Greg's Lighting

Greg's Lighting is a mod for the game Minecraft. It currently provides one item, the Floodlight. This is a high-powered lamp designed for lighting up large spaces. It projects a beam of light that extends vertically downwards for an unlimited distance without diminishing in brightness. You can place them on the ceiling of a high room and they will light up the floor as bright as day.

Floodlights require a redstone signal to turn them on.

The torch at the top doesn't do much for the light level at the bottom...
 ...but turn on a floodlight, and the floor is bathed in splendiforous brightness!
