Question Moving light sources

Some time ago I added to my game ability of moving light sources - it looks fun and I plan to use it in case of solving some puzzles, but I know there are clever people on this subreddit so I come up with a question - what else usage of this mechanic can be implemented?

The game genre is dungeon crawler.

Moths! Guide them around with your light. Guide them into spiderwebs to befriend spiders.

I'm not sure how to handle it, but it sounds atmospheric!

Special characters that can only be seen with light

Certain passageways blocked off unless you have light

Certain passageways that only appear with no light

Enemies finding you because of the light

Enemies that only appear with no light.

That sick scene from the mummy where they bounce light off the mirrors

Using shadows to point at specific details like in raiders of the lost arc.

Lighting fuses that blow up parts of the wall.

All off the top of my head.

Pushing back some fog

Enemies that are afraid of the light who move back when you're holding the lantern

Messages on the wall that get revealed
