[1.18.2 and up] Epilepsy Concern regarding entity light casting

Hello Grondag The Barbarian!
I have a concern regarding the way lighting affects your darkest moon phases in your mod. I understand that in order for you to accomplish the darkness you inspire to invoke, it requires a bit of work but this 'Vantablack' effect does impose a health risk.

I use a mod called Player companions and I figured I'd send this over to you in hopes you can issue a fix specifically for the way lighting effects (first-player) player model hand, and possibly nametags in question. The context below should give you all the details.

Hello! I tested this with the new 6.0.0 update on the client only (msg from playercompanion).
This issue also still occurs in a single player environment. I do appreciate the fading, that does help a lot. I'm not epileptic however this does help, I'm sensitive to very sudden light movements and such as I will get a migraine so I thank you a lot for implementing this, I appreciate this a lot.

Here's the previews

I think you've done what you can. I do not want you to change too much I think the most you can do is have the untamed fireflies have a low static light source no matter what and add the pulsation light effect so it's never completely dark upon discovering the fireflies. I will need to reach out to the creators of True Darkness to issue some sort of fix. I will mention this ticket.

This issue seems to only have a horrific effect when the moon phases are at the darkest overcast.
Accomplished by setting the time to midnight and then triggering this command 4 times:
