I made a bunch of animated flickering lights with corresponding flickering light beams, also added glow maps to some things like metro escalators. I have currently only done the DC districts, not the part in the greater wasteland (next version)

Also these are the settings that control light distance in fallout, setting these high (like they are here) will make the mod look even better, but it will cost performance.

set your lighting to these settings (in the fallout.ini) for awesomeness:
fLightLODDefaultStartFade=10240.0
fLightLODRange=10240.0
fLightLODMinStartFade=10240.0
fLightLODMaxStartFade=10240.0
fShadowLODDefaultStartFade=200.0
fShadowLODRange=200.0
fShadowLODMinStartFade=100.0
fShadowLODMaxStartFade=1000.0
fSpecularLODDefaultStartFade=10240.0
fSpecularLODRange=10240.0
fSpecularLODMinStartFade=10240.0
fSpecularLODMaxStartFade=10240.0

The fallout.ini is located in:
My Documents\my games\fallout3

COMPATIBILITY!!
If you have Broken Steel DLC you should have Street Lights before it in your load order.
This mod does make streetlights - wasteland obsolete.

NOTE for Tale of Two Wastelands!
If you want to port this mod go for it.  I only ask that you give proper credit and link back to this mod in your description.

The whole wasteland is now lit, along with other upgrades, such as glowmaps for the lights.
