When you shoot a beam it lights up the surrounding area if it is dark but while you are holding the energy in your hand it does not so I suggest that once you have a beam charged up to the point it shows up as an energy ball your character holds it should glow just as if it had been shot.
I think it would be cool because you could see better in dark places, it would be more realistic and it wouldn't be hard to code in.
