Question ... Is there a way to explore the deep dark without torches?

I recommend against light sources that move with your player as the Minecraft lighting engine was not made for moving light source, they create a lot of FPS lag and aren't that that good looking either becuase they don't move smoothly.

But they DO keep you alive in the Deep Dark, even if your torches get blown up or washed away.

Nonetheless, I think I'd generally prefer a more permanent light source, like Reika's floodlight or Arcane Lamps. The former for long branch mining tunnels, the latter for any permanent base-like thing around your portal.

Hmm... Doesn't Blood Magic add some inexpensive light source? Blood lamps, right?
Anyone know if they can be worked into advanced projectile spells, for extreme mining and light-spamming hilarity?

Speaking of which, I bet the Ars Magica light sources could be worked into that mod's mining spells. Sounds useful in the Deep Dark...
Something like [Projectile | Area of Effect | Dig | Light] would probably do it.

Yesh. Craft the Sigil of the Blood Lamp, and you can send three light sources flying for every right click, at the cost of only blood.

And only 10 LP at that. Also, it's one light source, but the projectile is made of three particles. Been using it heavily in my world the last few days. ;)

Also don't jump into your quarry plus hole filled with water to see if it's finished.... light doesn't propagate through water according to the vashda narada so even if you use redstone lamps that don't get washed away you gonna have a bad time.

I see the reference. Me likey.
 
The Modular Powersuits mod has a lux capacitor upgrade for the power fist. With this you can place an unlimited amount of lux capacitors. And you can "shoot" them, which is really nice to explore areas.
 
Also, Mekanism has glowstone armour.

It's a bit poor on durability but I *think* it lights up your surroundings.
