I am using the FTB Ultimate Pack version 1.1.2. I am very near end game. I have like 6 stacks of beeswax, and tons of other resources. In my factory building with my machines and such I am going to use RP2's Inverted White Lamps. I have two other buildings though, and I do not know how to light them. I have torches all over the place in all 3 buildings. I might use Forestry candles for my main home, but I do not know what to use for my power room. It is a concrete hyperbolic with 30 Thermal Generators going through the middle, and on the second floor is 3 magma crucibles, 5 biogas engines, some conduits, cells, and liquiducts. What should I light this room with? I am thinking liquid glowstone but don't know how I woud put it in the tiny rooms.

Sadly for you, liquid glowstone isn't in the ultimate pack v1.1.2. It's only in custom made 1.5.2 packs at the moment.

Other alternatives for lighting however are, Lava lights, lava in liquiducts, Xycraft lamps, the Redpower lamps as you've said, MFR road lights.

Edit, you can make pretty cool lights with lava and Redpower microblocks, because as far as liquid is concerned they're full blocks.

By lava lights you just mean lava flowing down?

Edit: MFR Road Lights wouldn't fit because a) they are too light, and b) I use Sphax, and so far the MFR Sphax patch is nowhere near finished.

factorization Wrath lamps light a 21x21x30 area evenly. The only issue I know of with them is you can't use them for tree farms. Something with how they light and the way the tree checks for room to grow makes trees not grow.

hollow covers i think

I know, but the kind of block, I'm thinking that it is chiseled stone but I cannot tell.[DOUBLEPOST=1371367018][/DOUBLEPOST]Not chiseled stone, I forgot that in Sphax chiseled stone is 4 cubes on each side, the spiral thing is in default.

You should use beehives.

They take up too much space and look horrible as a light, they look great as beehives, but horrible as lights. I want to use the second and third pictures lighting from the album VikeStep linked, but I can't figure out what blocks those are.

I figured it out, I went through every single hollow cover in NEI and found that it looked the closest to Silver Blocks.
