This paper investigates presentations of lamplighter groups using computational models from automata theory. The present work shows that if G can be presented such that the full group operation is recognised by a transducer, then the same is true for the lamplighter group G≀ Z of G. Furthermore, Cayley presentations, where only multiplications with constants are recognised by transducers, are used to study generalised lamplighter groups of the form G≀ Zd and G≀ Fd, where Fd is the free group over d generators. Additionally, Zk≀ Z2 and Zk≀ Fd are shown to be Cayley tree automatic.
