Other Jimness > Cinder Spires Spoilers
Light
Tarion:
I imagine there could be veins of crystal through the Spire rock, carrying light through the Spire. Essentially, built in lighting strips.
But there's no textual evidence for it (yet).
Someone needs to ask Jim :P

It would have to be pretty efficient, but I suppose it could work. Still, even this would have weird secondary effects. As an example, diffuse lighting through the habble means very few true shadows to hide in. Everything would like the interior of a shopping mall -- just soft shadows everywhere. Also, you've got habble Landing. With extra roof they built in the middle, the lower level wouldn't have access to this lighting. It would make for a very dark place unless you've got artificial light.
As second issue could be radiation. Living indoors would mean that nobody ever got a tan, giving everyone (except for sailors) a very pale complexion.

Well, twelve-ish hours at most. 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. Like you said, Habble Landing is probably darker overall, but that helps with its atmosphere of being a place of shady deals.
Phaeton Seraph:
I expect they have lighting powered on the same power the airships get from the mists with their nets. At least for the common areas.
