You already have a more violent/hayoish alternative to Interdiction Torches - Tesla Coilz 
On a practical level, why should a luminator have repellent properties? I could imagine maybe something incorporating a note block + technical shizzle wizzle in order to repel mobs with super-high-pitch sound, but the luminator is a glorified torch

Tesla coils can hurt me as well and aren't too nice to light up my house.

Did you even read my second paragraph?
This is about giving Luminators some attractive quality, so people actually decide to use them. Once you have other mods installed there is absolutely nothing that justifies their existence.
Some sort of explanation could be that we assume they give off "daylight" which mobs obviously don't like and therefore avoid. Just instead of lighting them on fire it keeps/(pushes) them away.
lol, it reminds me the old wiki with that UV-thingy about luminator ^^.

It's worse than that, they only have a tiny utility over torches (can be placed on ceilings), at the cost of a fairly complicated and expensive setup.
I do appreciate the aesthetics enough to use them sometimes, but balancing them with unmodded minecraft would require ditching the EU requirement or giving them more utility given the expensive resource cost compared to a torch.
Do you know how old this thread is?
3 days is not a necro in my book.
2 weeks should probably be the standard for necro qualification.

It was ONE Day old while that Guy replied. Is now every Thread dead, because there wasn't a Reply for ONE SINGLE DAY!?!
Guys, ease up -- I think he was aiming for the "Orbital Anarchy" thread and missed.
Damm, then I touched 1 cn wrong on my screen-hope that wont happen anymore.
