Gameplay

Baldi's Basics Plus

Johnny's Store in Endless Mode after it gets robbed.

In Endless Mode, if the player steals an item from Johnny's Store while it is still closed, the alarm starts blaring and the store will have the red lights effect.

The level generator crash.

Ditto, but prior to V0.6.

If the level generator fails to generate a level, the red lights effect will be applied to it. The Baldi TV is not affected by the effect in any way, however.

Baldi's Basics Classic/Baldi's Basics Birthday Bash

After the player collects all seven notebooks, they will be able to access the exits. If the player comes in contact with one of the four exits, the exit will close, alerting Baldi and causing the entire Schoolhouse, excluding sprites and characters, to turn red. This does not change any gameplay, however. After touching the second exit, a loud grinding noise will start to fill the school, and hitting the third exit will play the track again, but much louder and grindy.

The red lights after reaching the first exit in Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered.

When reaching the first exit, the Schoolhouse will gradually turn red. After reaching the second exit, the red light effect becomes a bit stronger. After reaching the third exit, the red light effect becomes even stronger and also darkens the building.

The red lights consist of the lighting system from Baldi's Basics Plus, so when the Schoolhouse gets darker, the contrast of images is increased. This is especially notable when only one exit is left.

Note: The following content may have spoilers for the deep lore.
This does not happen in NULL/Glitch Style or if the Lights Out Fun Setting is on, and the lighting will still be normal.
