You need to light up your life with torches and lamps.

You can burn through some resin if you try,
and find it suddenly in short supply.

As soon as electricity came to Valheim (i.e., wisp torches, the single best feature from the Mistlands upgrade) I replaced the majority of the lighting in all my bases with wisp torches. I still keep a few sconces, braziers, and pumpkins around for ambiance, but I no longer have to pile up mountains of resin and greydwarf eyes to keep my places lit!

The new lighting is cool, but has not replaced all my resin fueled torches. The resin stuff casts unique light both in color and range, just like the new torches. Each one has its own aesthetic function and use. Over using any one type of item tends to diminish its "effect", but that's a topic that can be widely debated and comes down to the user's preferences.

Less tends to be more tho. I like to use the wisp torches as a kind of accent lighting over something functional. They do not cast much ambient light very far. But they do emit a pleasant humming sound.
