After dark, the main source of lighting is wood ... which is a valuable commodity on moderately populated servers. Flashlights help, but don't really do a good job of illuminating an area. The components to make a very bright improvised illumination flare (c4 + gunpowder) are already in the game. IRL - these flares are too bright for indoor use but would work well for outdoor community areas and lighthouse towers. If the Devs want to get fancy they can even create a "tactical-trip-wire" version that lights up when an enemy is nearby.

Cheers!

You want to make an illumination flare out of gunpowder and explosives?

Yup ... done it before IRL and it works great!
