Everytime i visit a settlement with the new spotlights (the new ones from Automatron) installed, they are turned off/not producing light. To get them working/producing light again i have to turn the generator on and off. Every spotlight is like this for me. Anybody else got this problem?

Same problem here but, I've noticed that the spotlights are always on after an attack. My spotlights are always on and not connected to any switch.

Alot of people seem to be getting this problem

Make sure your spotlights are not wired to your siren.

I dont even have a siren. They are wired straight to the generator.

Same issue here. If I go into workshop mode and pick up the spotlight it turns back on

Hopefully they will fix it. Does Bethesda read this part of the forum?

Picking it up only fixes the light until the next time the PC comes into the settlement.

There's a mod called SpotlightFix which takes care of the problem.

Sadly, it would need to be updated to fix the wall-mounted spotlights from the DLC which are broken as well....

I just updated my main post. I meant the DLC ones.
