Smart light
A smart light changes the tactical visibility of its room. An illuminated room makes it easier for guards and people to recognize a hacker in their field of view.
Control requirements
- The light requires facility power and an active network connection before its on/off action is available.
- Unlike many devices, standing next to it does not replace the network requirement.
- A power outage switches it off and removes its illumination effect.
Visibility
- In a lit room, a guard or person can notice the hacker within a broad forward-facing angle when line of sight is clear.
- Darkness reduces this room-wide visibility advantage but does not make the hacker invisible at close range or inside a normal view cone.
- Turn lights off before a risky physical action when doing so will not expose your network plan.
