I like to tier my lighting
Tier 1: I usually make torches single use and change the recipe to require flint and steel or variant (tool damage craft), and drop burnt out torches that need to be re lit to be used. Did used to burn out but even on a long time delay it’s kind of annoying going and relighting them each day.
Tier 2: Candles, candles are multi-use but require wax and string which is harder to stock in early game.
Tier 3: lanterns and jack o’ lanterns, crafted with candles but can be placed on ceilings and under water.
Tier 4: Redstone lamps and variants, requires the most resources but is red stone controllable.
Not sure where lumium fits in, probably tier 5 but I can’t see why I would upgrade from redstone.
I also use lava if I’m using hardened liquiducts or portable tanks which I think is the most classy, but might be lag inducing, haven’t confirmed that.
