Describe the feature request

Is it possible to get a new light block type that would use any solid block surrounded by glass blocks. This would put a roundel that would match that block with a light that can be used with the newer light controls.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Instead of being a solid block maybe it could be something that works like the glow lichen that would just make light but be one of the 16 colors that are supported in Minecraft.

as of B 2973 the lights still dont save over a power off or server restart
