One Piece of Light
Pieces of Light (also called Wax) are orbs that players can collect to forge Candles, one of the main currencies in Sky. They are primarily collected by lighting Candles or burning Darkness. This page documents sources of Light with permanent locations and precise Light counts. Other sources of Light that are variable, for a limited-time, or involve randomization are documented at Additional Light Sources.
Usually, Light appears as red fire orbs, floating above Candles that are lit or in a location where Darkness has been burned. Blue orbs may appear instead when Darkness is burned near water or when spawned by water-specific Light sources (clams, fish, etc.). Blue and red fire orbs are equivalent and functionally the same.
When a player approaches these pieces of Light, the Light will fly into their bodies and fill up their Candle meter. When the meter is fully filled, the player can click on the meter and they will get a Candle. If they have collected a significant amount of Light and haven't clicked the meter, they may get more than one Candle.
Every day at 00:00 midnight Pacific Time (PST/PDT), all Light sources reset. Not all Darkness Plants are available every day, as certain Darkness only appear every other day. In Golden Wasteland (but not in any other realm), all Darkness Plants are available on Sundays.

Information on this page and the Additional Light Sources page were gathered by numerous editors throughout the years (Chiychiy (Profile | Contributions), Omicron23 (Profile | Contributions), Jet Lye (Profile | Contributions), Numaner (Profile | Contributions), Ray808080 (Profile | Contributions), Ghostingskies (Profile | Contributions), etc). Special thanks to lonelyste on Discord for the initial candle count data in 2021 and the detailed verification of several under-documented sections in 2024, galerowfylery on Discord for providing data on many variable Light sources, and pingubot on Discord for collecting the Sliding and Flying Race fragment count.

Eye of Eden (Spoilers!)[]
On the road to the point of no return, there are occasionally Pieces of Light scattered along the path, in the spots where the small red radiant shards are located. Although it has been speculated that this phenomenon is tied to Strong Shard Eruptions, these Pieces of Light have been observed to also appear on days with no Eruptions. While this appears to be a bug, further investigation is required to find out what exactly triggers this to occur and how much Light can be collected.
Orbit[]
There are two flying sections before entering Orbit: with all the floating Ancestor Spirits the player has collected and with a random selection of friends and favorite friends.
In the first section, the player receives 5 Pieces of Light for each Ancestor Spirit they fly into. In the second section, the player receives 5 Pieces of Light for each favorite friend they fly into. The chains of Sky Kids holding hands do not give Pieces of Light, even though they will Deep Call when flown into.
Additional Light Sources[]
Additional Light sources from Holiday Events, Social Light areas, and have randomization can be found on the Additional Light Sources page.
