I want to do a build where it looks like I live in a sun, so I want it to be especially bright, any ideas?
Brightest block in modded Minecraft?

Part A: ExU and only for 1.7.10
Part B: This works, but is still hindered by maximum brightness. It does look badass IMO though.
Fluiducts filled with lava or pyrotheum work well, as do Wrath Lamps from Factorization (which are known to cause problems with some things) and Arcane Lamps from Thaumcraft. The latter only place invisible light blocks where it's dark enough to spawn mobs (resulting in large area of somewhat patchy light cover), but place no more than needed, reducing problems with plants and things.
Also, Mystcraft ages with the "Bright Lighting" page look like light level 13 or 14 everywhere, regardless of the actual light level. Be warned that it's not necessarily always that bright all the time, so you'll get mob spawns indoors and at night if you don't light the place up or make the age a Mushroom Island biome. If you have Dye Trees, the Rainbow Forest biome ought to work just as well. Also note that Ars Magica mobs appear to be able to spawn in mushroom biomes, unlike all other mobs with the exception of Mooshrooms.

The problem is that these do not appear brighter, they merely spawn additional light blocks.
Exactly. We aren't getting brighter unless you decide to up the gamma in your options file. Which is really the only option.
Last I checked, magnum torches only prevent natural mob spawns, but don't actually illuminate any more than ordinary glowstone does. They also don't disable things like spawner blocks and Cursed Earth.
Could you make a mod that increases the max light level to have some insanely bright items or is it just too embedded in the engine?
It'd be possible, but it would probably require a source edit and forge would go crazy.
I am playing the monster pack on a server. I wanted to stun and wow my fellow players but it seems that I did not make myself clear enough. How do I lock a thread?
Wrath lamp with a carpenter block housing and microblock lens... Works for me, keeps enviro bright and looks +- awesome
My personal preference has been the Glowstone Bricks. If you have a means of getting a LOT of Glowstone (the recipe is 8 glowstone blocks surrounding a stone brick for 8 glowstone bricks) you can get a lot of the bricks easily. They have light emanation equivalent to Glowstone Blocks but using them as a building material means there's light everywhere.
