Workbench Level 1, 15s, yields 1
Faster at a higher workbench: 7.5s at Workbench Level 2, 3.75s at Workbench Level 3.
Each swing charges the share of the cost for 50 health, rounded up to whole resources, and restores as much health as it paid for, which can be more than 50. Nothing can be repaired for 30 seconds after it takes damage.
What the Tripod Spot Light gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 37 + 50% Metal Fragments |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 30 Metal Fragments |
| Green recycler | 50% | 25 Metal Fragments |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 20 Metal Fragments |
The Tripod Spot Light breaks down into Metal Fragments.
A recycler takes them one at a time, so a full stack of 10 goes through in 10 cycles.
Figures are for one item in perfect condition. Each recycler’s name opens its full table at this item. “37 + 50%” means 37 every time and a 50% chance of one more.
In Rust, Tripod Spot Light is a electrical in the Electrical category (item ID #-2134097299, console shortname electric.spotlight.tripod). In active play, it follows standard server rules for electrical gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage stacks up to 10 units per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 5 minutes.
A spotlight you can orient with a hammer.
Crafting Tripod Spot Light in Rust takes 15 seconds at a Workbench Level 1, with all ballistics, crafting, and durability values 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 Tripod Spot Light against related electrical in Rust, craft copies once the blueprint is unlocked (15 seconds per craft) and recycle surplus spares at an unpowered radtown green recycler (fifty percent base efficiency) rather than a safe-zone yellow recycler (forty percent efficiency) to maximize recovered materials.

The Tripod Spot Light has 100 health once placed in Rust. It belongs to the Electrical category under numeric ID -2134097299 across 83 electrical and despawns after 5 minutes when dropped on a default server across 83 published Electrical entries (79 with crafting blueprints).
The Tripod Spot Light is crafted at a Workbench Level 1 from 50 Metal Fragments in Rust. Raw ores smelt into metal inputs in a furnace while non-craftable components must be looted from monument crates before queuing the craft at your workbench.
The Tripod Spot Light recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 25 Metal Fragments. Monument green recyclers shred items one unit at a time on fast radtown cycles, whereas safe-zone yellow units trade lower material recovery for peacekeeper protection.
The Tripod Spot Light takes 15 seconds to craft, down to 3.75 seconds at Workbench Level 3 in Rust. It belongs to the Electrical category under numeric ID -2134097299 across 83 electrical, with F1 console command inventory.giveid -2134097299 10 across 83 published Electrical entries.
The Tripod Spot Light repairs in Rust once placed with a Hammer for up to 25 Metal Fragments at full wear (2 swings). Hammer repairs draw materials straight from your inventory with zero maximum-health penalty, provided the placed object has not taken damage within the last 30 seconds.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Tripod Spot Light despawns after 5 minutes by default. Picking it back up into a player inventory or storing it inside a base container immediately resets that ground despawn timer, which the server scales by item rarity tier.
The Tripod Spot Light has 32-bit signed item ID -2134097299 and shortname electric.spotlight.tripod in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Electrical category (stack limit 10 units per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Tripod Spot Light in the F1 developer console with inventory.give electric.spotlight.tripod 10 or inventory.giveid -2134097299 10 for 10 units. Both console spawn commands require administrator or moderator privileges on the server, while regular players can bind a quick-craft shortcut key instead.
