i was looking in the forums and i did not see a post with this idea, i might be blind so sorry if i went over one
well my idea for a lightstone torch is this
-slightly less light then a normal torch but more then a redstone torch(that isnt sayin much for the redstone torch)
-make the light have a "sunlight" effect so if a zombie or skeleton walk into its light they catch on fire and spiders become passive until they leave the light
(it woulb be the exact blueprints of any other torch just with light stone)
another idea would be the light stone staff
this when weilded would be like a lantern (from amnesia, since mc doesnt have lanterns *yet* anyway)
it would do the same as a light stone torch so zombies and skeletons would ignite, and spiders would become passive
(gives me an idea of putting a saddle on a spider, put can only ride if you have the staff out so they stay passive)
maybe have the alt fire make the staff brighter (like a flash that COULD make monsters flee) but take off item health when doing so.
blue prints could be

[] [] [] = lightstone = wood stone, iron, ect (to determine item health)
this idea just popped in my head while typing this
but a redstone staff?
no clue what that could do =\
There are issues with moving light sources. I'm not going to say it's impossible, as some mods do it, but I've heard there are problems with putting it into the core game.
When you say wield it, you mean hold it and light comes out. So why would you need different materials for durability? Is that how long it gives light or what?
Edit: Never mind. Your writing is a little messy.
you have a point, the reason i mentioned the staff is that it kinda annoys me that i can't walk around with the torches out and have them give off light, so to keep the torches the same AND without bugging ME i suggest the staff, the lightstone torches, i think should be put in cuz there is not much you can do with lightstone dust at the moment anyway.
i apologize if this post came up kind've aggressive, it is not meant to be =]
