: wovwI' (is there a better word for a light/lamp?)

Okrand came up with two:

{wovmoHbogh jan(Hom)} light (device) = referring to the lights in the small
Hallmark Bird-of-Prey Christmas ornament:
 - Qapqu' wovmoHbogh janHommey
   It even has working lights! (Hallmark)

{wovmoHwI'} light (device) KBP = referring to the wing lights on a full-size
BoP:
 - telDaq wovmoHwI'mey
   Wing Lights (BoP Poster)

And if you prefer the old technology - as Klingons do in their rituals - you
can also use {Sech} "torch" and {weQ} "candle".  Note that the former is
specifically associated with {wov} in the simile:

  wov; ghI'boj Sech rur 
  bright as the Torch of G'boj KGT
 
... whoever G'boj was.
