??? What's the best light source in Skyrim?

allsunday · December 31, 2017

So, everybody and their grandmother knows that if you open the console command in Skyrim and click on any surface then type: "placeatme [insert item code] [insert quantity]" then you can add furniture, containers, and even light sources. Even people who don't know about this know how to do it! Even Barraco Barner, the 44th President of the United States, knows how to do this. Only catch is that if you add a light source you CAN'T delete it unless you reload your game.

Only problem is that all light sources in Skyrim are not created equal. Some light sources are brighter, some are darker, some cast shadows, and some don't. My question is, from the list provided, who has a favorite light source they like to use in their Skyrim game? Because there's no official forum about this and there are simply way too many light sources to go through one by one.
