You're referring to "lit" as short for "literature"?

I wanted to use a word that shares as few as possible letters with "bright"
so that it is easy to distinguish the two.  At first I used "live", but that
doesn't work well in "livered".  If it wasn't for that, I think "live" would
have been good.

Indeed, "light" probably most clearly conveys the meaning.  If no one finds
a better word, I will switch over to "light".
