gollark: They work by generating arbitrary electromagnetic radiation at arbitrary nearby locations, so there are many variables to adjust.
gollark: Also, at maximum brightness they would slightly destroy planets, so "leave them on at maximum" isn't a great solution.
gollark: It's not an electrical usage concern; the lights' color and brightness has to be controlled for maximum aesthetic and comfort.
gollark: Technically, your "AI" is just a side project of the GTech™ AI in charge of running the lighting in our facilities.
gollark: We never cleaned that up after the thing.
