Thanks, I would do that, but this mod already takes care of this problem for me, which works for vanilla and this mod automatically :)

You could add this as an optional dependency if you like, which would help other people discover it.
The only other thing would be to reduce the mining time slightly for the lamps, since it's a bit annoying, but I don't feel like forking it for that reason alone, so I'll let that up to you to consider it a bug or not.
