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?

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
End Gateway Block - 15
Active Redstone Lamp - 15
Beacon - 15
Sea Lantern - 15
Torch - 14
End Rod - 14
Lit Furnace - 13    
Nether Portal Block - 11
Redstone Ore, when touched - 9 
Active Redstone Repeater- 9
Ender Chest - 7
Lit Redstone Torch - 7 
Magma Block - 3
Brown Mushroom - 1  
Brewing Stand - 1
Dragon Egg - 1
End Portal Frame - 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 and cobwebs, which diffuse sunlight but only reduce light by the normal 1 level per block.

There are also quite a few lighting bugs to consider.

In the new Aquatic Update, sea pickle also produced light from 6-15 (only if waterlogged) depend on how much pickle are there.

Lanterns were added and I'm pretty sure they produce the same amount of light as torches, and campfires were added and I think they produce a 15, and so were lit blast furnaces and smokers (1.14 update)
