Makes sense to me.

I think each of these readings should be a separate entry. It's just too messy otherwise. I'm happy to set it up.
とう is already a separate entry with an additional counter sense. Could be merged here but I don't think it's necessary.

  Comments:
The JEs group them this way (e.g. GG5):
灯 (ひ,とう) light, lamp
灯火・燈火 (ともしび) light, lamp
灯火 (とうか) light;  lamplight
The kokugos add 火 and sometimes 燭 to ともしび. 新明解 only has 灯 as a kanji form for it. Koj xrefs 燈火 to とうか. GG5 alone has 燈火 for ともしび.
They all use much the same definitions.
I'm inclined to split とうか into a separate entry, but leave the rest combined, and add とう as a reading for 灯. Any views on this?
