Well in most Diku derivatives you just hold the light, and that's it - if anything, I think it's oversimplified. I never could understand how someone could use a sword, shield and torch (and in many muds, still have space for another 'held' item).
If you're going to the trouble of implementing a decent light source system then you might as well incorporate it fully into the game, forcing the player to swap their weapon or shield for a torch (although the torch itself could be used as an improvised weapon).
