The icon overlay is to distinguish them from normal glass, this doesnt affect the placed blocks.

✦ Crafting Recipes

The Luminosity Wand allows you to right-click any Luminous Block to change the light level.
Three light levels: low (5), medium (10), and high (15).

Stick + 1 Glowstone Dust → Luminosity Wand

Crafting recipe for the Luminosity Wand

Crafting is shapeless, and light level is the same no matter which ingredient is used. All Luminous Glass is crafted by combining any glass block with a light-emitting ingredient.
