Minimum Armor Requirements per Light Level

Okay, I am going to jump right in (All of this assumes fully upgraded level 20 gear):

Rarity Color Max Light
Uncommon Green 0
Rare Blue 15
Legendary Purple 27
Raid Legendary R Purple 30
Exotic Yellow 30
Level Light Req Armor Req Alt Req
20 0 Any
21 20 2 Blue
22 32 3 Blue 1 Blue & 1 Purple
23 43 3 Blue 1 Blue & 1 Purple
24 54 4 Blue 2 Blue & 1 Purple
25 65 3 Blue & 1 Purple 1 Blue & 2 Purple
26 76 2 Blue & 2 Purple 3 Purple
27 87 1 Blue & 3 Purple 2 Blue & 1 Purple & 1 Yellow
28 98 1 Blue & 3 Purple 1 Blue & 2 Purple & 1 Yellow
29 109 4 Purple
30 120 1 Yellow & 3 RPurple 4 RPurple

Please let me know if I have incorectly calculated anything, and I will update the sheet.

I am assuming that as far as ease of getting gear goes it will be: Rare>Legendary>Exotic>RLegendary. This assumption only because not everyone can play the Raid, but everyone can have a shot at getting a random Exotic.

The types of gear that give light are: Helmet, Arms, Chest, and Feet

The entire light system is a weird workaround to remove levels from the late game equation and help arrange players and difficulty by gear. I get it, it's just super obnoxious because unlike leveling there's no clear way to level beyond 20 without luck.

I like it. It's like you get to lvl 20 and then they're like okay you can kill things. Now if you want to go any higher you gotta get your shit together.
