In speculative fiction, especially low-tech and high-magic fantasy settings, you can't expect to see much use of regular flashlights to use in dark areas, so there are either Hollywood Torches or the Fantastic Light Source to use. Common variants include glowing gems, lighting bugs and luminescent flora and fungus, while Mundane Utility may be derived from the fact that Power Glows or from fire, electricity, or light-based Elemental Powers. Either way, it's almost always guaranteed to last indefinitely. See Hollywood Darkness, for when no explanation is given for all the light and visibility on the scene. Not to be confused with Supernatural Light, which signifies spirits or ghosts. |

Coldfire Trilogy: The Fire briefly wielded by Damian in the first book and the coldfire wielded by the Hunter. The Fire is the last remaining sample of tamed solar fae bound to water with the prayers of thousands. Solar fae, unlike others, can only be tamed through massive collective effort and belief, and faith in the present is no longer strong enough to do so. It's a handy light source that is also anathema to any creature of the darkness. Coldfire is a "flame" that is as cold as true fire is hot (and just as dangerous) that gives off an eerie blue light. The Hunter wields a sword imbued with tamed fae that radiates coldfire as his weapon of choice. | |

Harry Potter: Wands can generate light with the Lumos spell. The Deluminator (or Put-Outer) device, one of Dumbledore's inventions, has the opposite effect: when activated, it steals the light away from nearby sourcesnote it doesn't have to be a dedicated light source either, as Ron once clicked it in a pub and the TV turned off. The trapped light can be carried around and released as suspended balls of light. |

In The Dresden Files, Harry often uses magic to light up his pentacle amulet. Though it's a modern setting, Harry's amulet is more reliable because technological lighting often fails when magic's afoot. He also occasionally uses faith magic to light up his pentacle which has the secondary ability to repel those weak to faith. | |

In Thud!, the dwarf mine is lit by vurms, bioluminescent carrion-eating creepy-crawlies. The Nac Mac Feegle have swords that glow blue in the presence of lawyers. |

Below has several magic sources of light. There's the daybreak spell, which creates a full artificial day. But spell lamps are this world's equivalent to the light bulb, made of enchanted scrap glass and fueled by liquid magic esen drawn through wire wicks, which cast white light like the sun. The party carries a few of these. The ruins contain a few self-replenishing lamps that have remained active for many centuries. | |

Exalted: One of the most common elements retained from the former Ages is the use of Essence-based lighting. Many types of Exalted also have the ability to light up their Battle Aura to illuminate their surroundings. Some, like Solars and Lunars, have it easier than the others. There's a five-dot hearthstone that illuminates quite a large area with natural sunlight, even if it's pitch dark. This is of course really, really bad for any hungry ghosts in the area. Glowstones are shining rocks that emit light with brightness varying from a torch's to an overcast day's. They emit no heat and shine for years without fuel, and are prized as light sources in areas already subject to intense heat or where fire would be dangerous (such as ships, libraries, or mines where explosive gases may be present). Most glow red or orange; yellow or white ones are uncommon and ones of other colors extremely rare. This, combined with the fact that they can only be mined in very remote areas of the South, leads wealthy people throughout creation to light their homes with colorful glowstones as a display of their wealth. Gethamane's tunnels are kept lit by glowing crystals set into its walls, which glow brightly during the day and dim when night falls on the outside world. |

Pathfinder: Ioun torches are small crystals that float around their owners' head with while meeting a Continual Light spell, granting safe, perpetual, hands-free illumination. Luminous oozes are a type of small Blob Monsters that emit a soft, steady light with which to attract prey in their cavern habitat. They're sometimes captured and kept in glass containers as exotic, if somewhat dangerous, lighting devices. |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Avengers: Infinity War: The Tesseract is the only light source in The Teaser apart from fires in the background. Guardians of the Galaxy (2014): Groot, a Plant Person, is able to produce bio-luminescent spores from his body. Peter Quill uses a glass-like orb of light when exploring a ruin. In a pinch, it's also quite effective at disintegrating people when shattered. |

The Stormlight Archive has glass spheres with gemstones in the center infused with the titular Stormlight used as lamps, they provide a steadier light than oil lamps or candles, and can be easily recharged by leaving the spheres out in a highstorm. They are also used as money, and so using them as light sources is seen as a sign of wealth. In Arcanum Unbounded, a scholar theorizes that this is at least partly due to the fact that the planet has a higher oxygen concentration than most worlds. While in modern times the people understand fire enough for it to be safe, in pre-history it was likely too dangerous to be used as a casual light source, leading to the ubiquity of the safer gemstones. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Older editions had objects with Continual Light cast on them. Some were shaped in useful ways, such as balls (could be rolled into the darkness) or "frisbees" (could be thrown). Someone even came up with a Continual Light flashlight/lantern (could be opened to let the light out). 3rd Edition added Sunrods as a standard item. 3rd Edition lets Alchemists distill sunlight into a liquid that glows indefinitely — and sets undead on fire. Forgotten Realms: Dwarves use jars with glowing borer-worms, glowmoss and phosphorescent powders. Glowmoss is also a stock light source in Spelljammer (fire is out of question in the Flow). Giant Fire Beetles are noted as having bioluminescent organs that can be harvested and used as light sources for several days before they stop glowing. Psionic characters in 3rd edition could learn My Light, which caused the caster's eyes to give off a cone of illumination like a bullseye lantern for the duration of the power. |

The Tough Guide to Fantasyland: This is discussed, alongside other fantasy staples, and named "Magelight" or "Magefire". It's an extremely common skill among wizards that allows one to create a small ball of blue or white light hovering above their hand, in the air or at the end of their staff. It serves two purposes: lighting dark places and showing that a character can, indeed, do magic. | |

The Elder Scrolls: The series has several spells which generate temporary sources of light, typically classed in the Illusion school of magic. Depending on the specific spell and the specific game you are playing, these balls of light may stick to you, float around and follow you, or stick to a surface that you cast them at. The drawback of these spells is that using them will make it easier for enemies to detect you. Related are the Night Eye spells, which provide temporary Innate Night Vision and do not have this drawback. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: The Ayleid Precursors had the lost art of storing Star Power in Welkynd and Varla Stones. By the time of the game, these are irreplaceable Emergency Energy Tanks for Mana. The Ayleid used them as lamps. |

Doraemon: Nobita and the Knights on Dinosaurs takes place mostly in the underground world of Enriru (Populated by raptor-men, descended from velociraptors) where despite being subterranean, is constantly illuminated - thanks to the glowing fungus on the cavern roofs. | |

Tolkien's Legendarium: The Silmarillion: Taken to its Logical Extreme in the earliest years of the world. The Valar lit the world first with a pair of massive lamps and then with two shining trees, each of which were destroyed in the Divine Conflict against Melkor. The Sun and Moon were created from the last light of the Trees. The Lord of the Rings: Both the Phial of Galadriel and Gandalf's staff serve this purpose. In addition to their Mundane Utility, their holy light repels creatures of darkness like the Balrog and Shelob. |

Unreal has Tarydium crystals, that glow a soft, watery blue that varies from very clear cyan to duke blue. The former occur naturally in the crystals, making caves and mine shafts some of the game's most well-lit areas, while the Nali like using the latter as wall lamps in the sleeping and bathing chambers of their more elaborate buildings, such as the Sunspire. | |

Minecraft features a variety of unconventional light sources. Glowstone is a rock-like substance that grows in clusters from the ceiling of the Nether — Hell, essentially — and glows brighter than a torch does. If harvested, glowstone blocks can be used as a light source that can be placed directly into walls or floors. Soul soil, also found in the nether, produces blue flames when set on fire and can be used to craft soul torches and soul lanterns, which unlike the regular variants burn blue and don't melt snow and ice. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: The ability to make their horn tips glow is a basic spell that almost all unicorns seem capable of, alongside telekinesis. It's easy enough that even a somewhat dim-witted foal like Snails can cast it (although it takes him some effort). Besides using this as a built-in flashlight of sorts, the light can be directed into a narrow beam that may or not project an image, as shown by Rarity, Twilight and a number of unicorn Royal Guards on various occasions. Regular flashlights also exist, but it's not said whether they're magic-based or electric. Glowing gems and lamps filled with fireflies are sometimes used in lieu of electrical lamps. In "To Where and Back Again", the inside of the changelings' hive is lit by seemingly organic, bio-luminescent green pods hanging like fruit from vine-like structures growing on its ceilings. Of course, some of those pods are actually cocoons that Chrysalis' prisoners are contained in. |

In the Utawarerumono series it is shown that characters use a kind of cubical stone kept in small bowls as a source of light. How it exactly works isn't clear, but from what can be gleaned it appears that a liquid of some kind is poured into the bowl and the stone then starts glowing as it reacts with it, creating light. | |

When Milo and Kida go exploring some underwater murals, they use Kida's crystal as a reading light. The Heart of Atlantis is a power source, referred to as a "crystal", that generates a lot of light, illuminating the underground chamber where its hidden and negating the need for flashlights. |

Rivers of London: The first spell Peter learns is a "werelight". Since he lives in 21st century London with streetlights, torches and and so on, it's mostly significant as a building block for more complex spells like fireballs, although Peter does sometimes find himself in the dark without a technological light source. As the easiest spell to maintain, but one that's literally radiant, it's also handy as bait for Magic Eaters. | |

Malediction Trilogy: Trolls do not use any external light sources in their city (which is very convenient, since it is buried under the mountain, so fuel is scarce and smoke would be a problem). Each pure-blooded or mixed-blood troll is capable of creating a small light that follows them at all times.
