Easy Dynamic lighting access for players?

Hi everyone!     I'm trying to see but not having any luck- Are there any mods/scripts that give players limited (or any, really) access to dynamic lighting? Like if player A wants to light a torch, they can just flip it to where they are emitting light. or if they can get dark vision via a spell, etc.
TokenMod can do that. 
Temporary Darkvision I have no suggestions for. Otherwise, what I have done is create empty characters for light sources (ex. "Terry's light spell") with the appropriate light settings and permissions for the players. They can then move the tokens with their character tokens (or use the Carry Tokens mod/api to automate that). Send to back keeps the light source token "behind"/"under" the PC token. 
You can make this work with special "characters" in the journal:  Create a "character" for a torch, set the token appropriately and make the token emit light.  Give the player's control of the character.  When they want to break out a torch, it takes just moment for you to drop that "character" on the map and the players can move it around to keep it with the person carrying it.

TokenMod API + a cleverly written macro for it, which you can find that macro on the Forums and copy-paste it to your game (once you've installed TokenMod from the One-Click Mods)
