lighting
I am debating between phosphorescence or light storage or light absorption. No dictionary seems to have it. The definition they give is:
蓄光性とは、蛍光灯や太陽光線の光エネルギーを蓄積し、暗闇の中で残光を保持する性質である。
The definition is reminiscent of "phosphorescence", but the characters literally mean "store light". Any ideas on the best term for this?

phosphorescence
I agree with your choice of "phosphorescence"; it seems to fit the term you need here as it describes the effect of storing light and then radiating it outwards. Luminousity is slightly off as it describes the effect of something producing light its self. As the Japanese sentence you included speaks of light glowing in the dark, the term "light storage" or "light absorption" would seem slightly inadiquate as they don't speak of radiating the light later (even if it is implied).
蓄光 is also called 燐光(りんこう).

Here is a pretty good explanation on phosphorescent material.
