| Green recycler | 50% | 12 + 50% Metal Fragments, 50 Wood |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 10 Metal Fragments, 40 Wood |

In Rust, Simple Light is a electrical in the Electrical category (item ID #-282113991, console shortname electric.simplelight). In active play, it follows standard server rules for electrical gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 5 minutes.
A simple debugging light.
In Rust, Simple Light has no player crafting recipe; acquisition relies on map collection, smelting, or vendor trades read from the Rust game files. Shredding a spare copy at a green recycler recovers base materials at fifty percent yield (vs forty percent at safe-zone yellow units). Placed structures heal with a Hammer using raw materials from your inventory.
When comparing Simple Light against related electrical in Rust, prioritize farming its highest-probability monument containers or recycling surplus components at an unpowered radtown green recycler (fifty percent base yield, versus forty percent at safe-zone yellow units) because this item cannot be crafted at a player workbench.
