ok I played a bunch more. lol. I think picking up the light needs to be the same button as throwing the light. the F key is just one too many things to think about in a game this short and this fast! but dang it it is fun!
I noticed this key binding issue near the end of the jam while playtesting, as my hands struggled to dash through enemies and pick up light orbs at the same time. I'll keep in mind changing it to the same button later
