I was playing around last night and discovered an interesting new lighting design.
I like to call them "Lava Lanterns", but I know lots of people want to call them "Lava Lamps".
Here's a step by step guide on how to make the Lantern in Survival - http://imgur.com/a/HWfg2

Fire can spread but just careful how you place them.
Lava does not spread as high as fire though. See the guide for info on that.
What do you think?
FAQ:
Q: How do you do that without command blocks?
A: In 1.9, trapdoors no longer need to be attached to any block.
Q: What happens when the trapdoor burns up?
A: Trapdoors do not burn.
Q: Won't the lava burn up the fence post?
A: Nope. Lava doesn't consume the block below.
Q: Won't the lava come out if I open the trapdoor?
A: No. The trapdoor still occupies the blocks beside the lave. They stop the lava like a sign stops water.

Very inspirational! Nice use of the new trapdoor features and singular iron bars It would be interesting to see this with iron trapdoors with redstone blocks and levers placed skillfully!

You can place a RS torch inside them and they will close into the torch. But it only gives off light level 7. Mobs will still spawn.
How does it look using a jack o lantern instead of lava? It might be safer!! maybe not as much light tho?
Jack o'Lanterns would take more work to place, cause you can't place them on the fence.
Either way, try it out! See if you like it better.
I love the look of the lava.
Well yes, you just need to be careful. You should learn the fire spread rules for MC to help you with that. But you can put a different block inside too like sea lanterns or glowstone. I just love the look of the lava.

Those look great. My only concern would be stuff burning up.

I'm concerned about it burning stuff on the other side of the trapdoor, like a wood wall or tree.
