Here’s where you should look for this valuable item.
ARC Raiders‘ progression system is tightly tied to loot, i.e., items you find around each of its respective maps.
The Flickering Flames event has exacerbated that, requiring players to collect and submit all sorts of different items and loot, including Light Bulbs. Thankfully, this item seems rather easy to farm, given that there appear to be locations that almost certainly spawn them every single time.
So, here’s where you should look.
Light Bulb locations in ARC Raiders

Light Bulbs in ARC Raiders are most commonly and easily found on the Dam Battlegrounds map. Specifically, they seem to spawn the most within car hoods, which are scattered throughout the entire level, but most densely concentrated on the northern highway portion, as well as near the extract in the Power Generation Complex.
Opening the hoods of these cars almost certainly guarantees you a Light Bulb drop, with significant spawn rates.
Another high-probability spawn point is the car located within the Electrical Substation south of the Water Treatment Control loot zone. The car seemingly gives Light Bulbs every single time it’s looted, and we’ve had tremendous luck with it.
Either way, one of these mentioned cars will almost always spawn at least a couple Light Bulbs, so you’d better check them if you want to maximize your odds of finding this item.
Light Bulbs can then be sold for 2,000 a piece or submitted for progression, most notably the Flickering Flames event, where they’re one of the necessary prerequisites.
