✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- One-button toggle is a huge quality-of-life win for dungeon crawlers.
- Recent update (June 2025) means it's fresh for current OpenMW builds.
- Tiny mod, no bloat—just does what it says.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 24 endorsements—small community, so less tested than big mods.
- Might conflict with other hotkey mods if you've remapped keys.
For OpenMW players who are tired of digging through inventory to swap torches. If you play with lighting mods or explore dark caves often, this is a must-have. Skip if you never use light sources or prefer full inventory management.

- Check your key bindings in OpenMW's settings to avoid conflicts with existing hotkeys.
- Test the toggle with a torch in hand before heading into combat.
