I'd go for Lamplight, gentle radiation. Lam = escape and Plight = hole, problem etc.

Many thanks; lam = escape new to me!

Prm73, thanks - glad I could help. 'Lam' was fairly new to me too. Chambers says: 'Lam, noun, escape or hurried flight, esp from the police.'

"On the lam" is a more familiar expression.

ChrisE, thanks for that. I'd always thought that phrase meant something else - on a bender, on the rampage, something like that!
