Makes sense as far as the trend goes, but would have no gameplay purpose unless the light level is more than 8. Even then, that function is fulfilled by torches. So, no, it would be a useless change.
I think it would be good, but definitely no more than a Redstone torch. I've always felt like it should give off a faint glow, like a torch, active wire, or an active repeater.
If it's going to give off light it should be at least 9. That's the light level of redstone ore blocks and repeaters. Might as well be 10. Brighter than ore, dimmer than Nether Portal, and we don't have any light source with that value yet.
No, in fact, I think all redstone related light should be removed, all it does is cause lag.
I think the torch light on and off should be removed, but i think that the block should have a always persistant light. If the light is always on or off, it wont cause lag. What causes lag is the light changes.

I disagree. The torch light is an indicator of whether the torch is in its "on" state or its "off" state.

The light has to be recalculated whenever the block is moved by a piston.
It would make sense if redstone block gives off faint light, at light level of 7, the same as Redstone Torch. However, it could be changed with poll.
What do you think?
For odd reason, the poll disappeared but I got the poll back on.
Praise be to Spode.
Came in here to say exactly this. Make redstone (or lighting) more efficient.
There should at least be an option for it like fast/fancy graphics.
Mostly moved on. May check back a few times a year.
Anyway, I don't really see the need for this.

but it doesnt need to have light around it, like a torch. This becomes a *huge* problem with servers when they have to calculate light changes

EDIT: It's now fixed.
oh yeah, forgot about that.
i withdraw my suggestion
