    No, they don’t convey the sense of danger, I agree.

    But “light-emitter” would be worse than “it radiates death/evil”, imho

      You think?

      A light emitter could be quite useful. If I am in a low-tech society, having a device or material that would emit light in the dark could be pretty desirable.

      It might confuse me though, because that “light emitter” doesn’t actually emit any light at all. Maybe this ancient society was full of liers or maybe their devices are all expired and broken. Probably their warnings aren’t worth anything either.
