Your wiki page reads Light domain gets Destructive Wave, but then if you go to the Destructive Wave page, it reads only tempest clerics get it. I sure would like to know for sure lol

Fextra's domain tagging here is going to be confusing for DND newcomers. A spell like Fireball is exclusive to the Light Domain, and naturally gets tagged with (Light Domain). But there is no special asterisk being added for universal cleric spells like Spirit Guardians. It has the (War Domain) tag because it is a free domain spell for them, but this will make newcomers think it is exclusive to the War Domain.

Warding Flare is good, it's upgrade is good, Radiance of the Dawn hits extremely hard as soon as you get it, it doesn't hit allies, and it has a huge radius. Safe to say this is a very good domain.

Make up whatever plot justification you need - Shadowheart as a light cleric just *wrecks*.

Got one rank of this on my monk for Warding Flare and shield of faith and I love it. I expect Flare to get nerfed, honestly. You really get to apply disadvantage on a hit against you as a reaction, every turn, no cooldown, no resource cost, melee and ranged. The reaction triggers only when you would actually get hit, so you can't waste it on an attack that wouldn't land anyways. I'm pretty sure my DM wouldn't allow me to apply this AFTER the attack roll.

Ahhhh! I love this Domain. It's so incredibly powerful, you're basically a Wizard throwing Fireball and channeling burning radiant energy all around you. The Reaction to impose disadvantage has saved me so many times, and negated so many enemy Critical Hits too. It feels amazing to have a Light Cleric in your party for Act 2, as well.
