    Question Light-emitting furniture?

    There are furniture pieces (e.g., Leaf-Blade Candlestand, Long-Burning Candlestand, Melted Beeswax Candle, etc.) that are pre-lit, but are there any furniture options other than Bilbo's Recommended Reading that actually emit light? I'm looking for ways to light up my Breeland house. I'd love to see more options like Bilbo's Recommended Reading for housing that doesn't have lighting hooks.

    Yes, there are many house item kinds that emit light, some are bartered at festivals & reputation traders, others crafted, some the lights get activated when you use the item, others glow all the time. Here is a list of categories:

    • Hanging candelabrias
    • Standing candlestands
    • Walls scones
    • Lanterns
    • Crystals
    • Fireplaces
    • Several tables with books have a single candle on top that emit a faint glow
    • Breakfast table have a single candle on top that have a faint glow
    • Saruman Oreri have several glowing spheres
    • Fireflies house decos can be acquired at Rohan
    • You can also use the Pet Harness item to turn cosmetic pets with bioluminiscence effect into house decos, some of those are:
      • Midsummer fest firefles
      • Nekerbrekers
      • Glowworms
      • Little Deep Toad

    Another thing you can do use use wall paints that have a light tone. You can find some dropped during spring fest but can also get them crafted. Also help to use furniture that have soft tones. I recommend you to look those categories on this player made guide about LOTRO houses: https://en.dcodumilieu.fr/

    Thanks for your response! I should have been more clear about what I meant. I own many glowing/pre-lit furniture items, but they don't light up the surrounding space or cast a pool of light. There is something different in the code for Bilbo's Recommended Reading that allows it to cast significant light around it. It seems really similar to the Rohan lighting hook options. I'll definitely check out the fireflies, orbs, and other things you mentioned!

    Outside of the lighting hooks in premium housing, we are very careful about decoration items, particularly ones that can be easily obtained, that can act as a light influence. Our renderer can only support up to a certain number of lights before weird visual artifacts start occurring - so those sorts of items are either very limited, or relegated to specific types of hooks.

    Great, now I'm grinding Bingo on alts to fill my entire house with Bilbo's Recommended Reading in every hook.
