I think we should look to Lift here; Her Surges are fueled by Lifelight and she can use Towerlight. She cannot use Stormlight. To me this would indicate to me that if you have the Connection to access one of the Lights that makes up a Combination Light, then you can use the combination Light. With that said, Lift is weird and the normal rules don't apply to her could absolutely be in play here. Regarding Venli, we know she can fuel her Surges with Stormlight, Voidlight, and Warlight. Regarding Kaladin when do you mean? At the end of RoW while fighting Lesian? His Eyes glow Gold/Red due to a connection to Odium, but he is definitely using Stormlight there. Or do you mean at the end of WaT? In that case he swears the 5th Ideal and the uses the burst of Stormlight from the swearing to fuel Nightblood for Szeth.
