Does lave produce the most light in minecraft?

Compared to tourches and glowstone? I thought it might be cool to have lava encased in glass as a light resource for my home. I'm new to minecraft.

I believe so.

Yes. Just don't burn your house down, that might produce a little more light than you had hoped.

Here's a page that lists all light emitting blocks and the amount of light they emit.

Be careful with lava, especially when you're working with it in a wooden house.
