You know, there is an even better generic light source in the mod. *points at sun*

In all seriousness, though, I do kinda see where you are coming from, but I don't think that this will actually work. Here are my thoughts:

First of all, this suggestion will not actually make a light source easily accessible to all factions. Glowstone is only found in Dwarven Mountains, and even though they aren't super hard to traverse for evil players, the trip would not be even close to worth it for anyone south of Rohan.

Second, this concept really doesn't have any standing in lore. The only times we see anything remotely like this (that I can remember) would be (A) the light Gandalf makes on his staff (which probably won't happen anytime soon) or (B) the lights in the Dead Marshes, which are mysterious and aren't stationary.

Lastly, I don't think we actually need a light source this generic. Lanterns might be nice, but I don't see random floating orbs fitting in.

Aside from that, I think you did a pretty good job on writing this suggestion, and it's certainly better than a lot of those out there.

P.S. Light is only one color in Minecraft.
