A Flame Jet of
any size or
any kind of Flaming Weapon is equivalent to a lantern or torch (
Exploits, p. 19), so I'd be kind and say that a held Fireball, Explosive Fireball, Lightning, Explosive Lightning, or Sunbolt of any size works the same way. It's true that this means offensive spells can sometimes cast more light than a more expensive Continual Light spell . . . but they're also spells "on" and dangerous, and in the case of Missile spells they're barriers to casting further spells.
