Nah these are just too annoying. Firstly they don't last long enough, secondly if you forget to pick them up and kill them before they expire they leave nothing (no more fireflies OR pumpkin), so you constantly have to pick up, kill, craft, drop, repeat every day. I've got enough repetitive stuff to do already in this game (which I enjoy a lot more than crafting and placing piss-weak lightsources).

On top of that, it's not like they generate heat so in winter you'll need a fire anyway.

Finally, if you run around with almost any weapon/tool, e.g. the cane, you will likely kill these accidentally all the time. Once I had done that a few times I didn't bother with these crappy things anymore.

I'm so glad they have the lantern - that's THE best lightsource in the game, so once you've got one (or more) of those, no need for these - and you use the torchlight when you're walking around and when you drop them, and turn them off, and they're refuelable. Only downside is occasional visits to cave (although that's not really a downside).

The only thing they're good for sometimes is a good (but cheating) way to keep your pumpkins fresh, unless you just leave them on your farm that is.
