Where to Find Lightbulbs in ARC Raiders

Lightbulbs are rare electrical components for Framework (3/6). This guide mirrors the December 2025 reference runs: one guaranteed drawer and one breachable car hood in Dam Battlegrounds, plus a quiet Blue Gate locker at Pilgrims Peak. Each loop is built to finish 5 Lightbulbs quickly while stacking Batteries and Sensors.

Why Lightbulbs matter

Framework (Stage 3/6) needs 5 Lightbulbs to build the Caravan walls and roof systems. They only roll in Electrical loot, so chasing random zones is slow. Use the two guaranteed Dam pulls and the Blue Gate locker to get them without relying on RNG.

Route 1: Dam Battlegrounds - two guaranteed pulls

Both spawns sit near Generator Hall extract, making this the fastest loop. Grab the drawer, then the car hood, extract, and reset.

Dam Battlegrounds map for Lightbulbs — Move between Power Generation Complex and East Broken Bridge toward the Field Depot and Generator Hall.

Steps

1) Load into Dam Battlegrounds. Any loadout works; lighter is faster.
2) Field Depot drawer (guaranteed). Inside the depot between Power Generation Complex and East Broken Bridge; open the corner computer desk drawer for 1x Lightbulb.
3) Generator Hall car hood (guaranteed). Near the Generator Hall extract, breach the hood of the car by the bus for another Lightbulb.
4) Extract at Generator Hall. Bank both Lightbulbs and reset.

Field Depot exterior — Field Depot between Power Generation Complex and East Broken Bridge.

Guaranteed drawer inside Field Depot — Corner desk drawer: guaranteed Lightbulb if unlooted.

Breachable car hood at Generator Hall — Breachable car hood beside the bus near Generator Hall extract.

Generator Hall extract — Extract immediately after looting to keep the loop under 4 minutes.

Tip: If the drawer is empty, skip straight to the car hood; if both are gone, extract and requeue - time beats chasing contested loot.

Route 2: Blue Gate - Pilgrims Peak locker

A quieter backup if Dam is contested. One red locker inside Pilgrims Peak holds a guaranteed Lightbulb.

Blue Gate map overview — Head to the northeast corner at Pilgrims Peak; fewer players contest this spot.

Steps

1) Load into Blue Gate. Bring a basic kit; travel light.
2) Climb Pilgrims Peak. Grapple or climb toward the top, then drop into the interior room before the summit.
3) Open the two red lockers. One of them is a guaranteed Lightbulb if unlooted.
4) Extract at the nearest point. Reset if the locker is empty; contest is usually low.

Pilgrims Peak exterior — Approach Pilgrims Peak from the northeast; use grapples to ascend quickly.

Drop-in path at Pilgrims Peak — Before the summit, drop into the interior room that holds the lockers.

Red locker room with guaranteed Lightbulb — Two red lockers; one contains the Lightbulb if unlooted.

Blue Gate extract — Extract nearby and requeue if needed; competition is low compared to Dam.

Fast loop script (3-6 minutes)

1) Queue Dam -> Field Depot drawer -> car hood -> Generator Hall extract.
2) If Dam is picked clean, queue Blue Gate -> Pilgrims Peak lockers -> extract.
3) Alternate until 5x Lightbulbs are secured; grab Batteries and Sensors along the way.
4) Pair with other electrical runs (Cooling Fans, Sensors) to finish multiple steps together.

Loadout and pacing tips

Go light; Lightbulbs are small, so speed and stamina perks beat extra capacity.
Carry a breach tool for the car hood; a lockpick helps with side lockers but avoid long detours.
Night/off-peak queues reduce contest at Dam; Blue Gate is naturally quieter.
Duo split: one player camps Dam guaranteed spawns while another runs Blue Gate to parallelize the 5-Lightbulb requirement.

After you have 5

Finish Framework by combining Lightbulbs with Batteries, Sensors, and the Exodus Module.
Recycle spare electrical junk per the loot page to free stash space.
Use the same Dam loop to double-dip for Cooling Fans or Sensors if you still need them.
