The issue is the name is supposed to be used for instances, not services. Make sure to not print services such as workspace. Lighting shouldn't be used as a storage. ServerStorage should be used for it. I'm afraid I can't paste the script to show as it's too long for an answer. So in other words.

-Make sure to delete line 13, workspace is a service, so it wouldn't work in this situation

-Move all the items you referred from Lighting to ServerStorage. Lighting shouldn't be a storage center

-Make sure to change all the "Lighting" to ServerStorage at the end!

I like to think of Lighting as potential alternative storage to uses of ReplicatedStorage as scripts don't run in Lighting. It's probably still heavily frowned upon though however, probably something to do with memory usage. Pejorem 164 — 5y

From my understanding, the issue is that Lighting’s service isn’t meant to store instances unrelated to lighting as it could possibly affect them. Lugical 425 — 5y
