[Suggestion] Use the light property of power poles instead of creating lamps #3

Electric poles can have a light set directly on the prototype (https://wiki.factorio.com/Prototype/ElectricPole#light), so you don't have to do any dummy entity shenanigans to get lighted power poles :D

Does minimum_darkness make light act according to day/night cycle or is that name misleading? If light doesn't turn off during day it'd look silly, but I could live with it.

What I can't live with is lighted poles without energy consumption. If I have to simulate consumption I might as well keep the lamps.

Yes.

I didn't realize that the lights should use power, that definitely throws a wrench into my idea.
