How many items can produce light?

Question

I was wondering, leaving the torch and the jack o' lantern apart, how many items and which can produce light?

Answer

There is a list of light-emitting blocks on the Minecraft Wiki.

These blocks along with the light levels the produce are as follows:

• Fire - 15
• Jack-O-Lantern - 15
• Lava - 15
• Glowstone - 15
• End Portal Block - 15
• Active Redstone Lamp - 15
• Torch - 14
• Lit Furnace - 13
• Nether Portal Block - 11
• Redstone Ore, when touched - 9
• Active Redstone Repeater- 9
• Lit Redstone Torch - 7
• Brown Mushroom - 1
• Brewing Stand - 1
• Dragon Egg - 1

While not technically blocks, additional light sources include:

• Sunlight - 15
• Sunlight when raining or snowing - 12
• Sunlight, when thundering - 10
• Moonlight - 4

Additionally:

Certain blocks will only allow light to pass through diffusely. These are water and ice, which reduce light by an additional 2 levels per block, and leaves, which diffuse sunlight but only reduce light by the normal 1 level per block.

There are also quite a few lighting bugs to consider.
