Going back to Priscellie's map, the geometric patterns of Habble Morning should help a lot with getting good lighting to interior portions of the spire, not to mention the roof of the spire may be completely translucent for that particular habble.

Yeah, but that's one habble out of 250. Remember also that there's all those clouds and murk outside. The lower levels have got to be getting less sunlight no matter what.

--- Quote from: end of chapter 7 ---They came to a dim section of largely unused tunnel, where the lumin crystals were spaced widely apart

Well that seems a rather decisive answer

Good quote!
That said, this is in the tunnels, so it's not completely solved for the main habble. Consider also that light crystals apparently eventually run down, so more maintenance is potentially required. On the other hand, if maintenance is required, it begs the question of why bother keeping the tunnels lit 24/7 when nobody goes there.

As I suggested earlier, they are probably powered by the mists or ether, or whatever it is the web on an airship collects to power the ship.
The spire is exposed to it. It would probably be simple enough to engineer it so that it gathers a small amount of energy, at least equivalent to our emergency lighting in public buildings.
Trebek:
I'd imagine it is rather dim in the spire. Isn't that the reason that they all wear goggles on the airship? I thought that when they went outside one of the characters forgets and is stunned by how bright everything is.
