You do not need to overload a light over a welding tank to remotely explode it. Any spark from any source will do it.
As for the idea itself, sure! I think Bartimeus' suggestion that just having the Light tool do a check if what your clicking on is actually a light fixture or not is the most elegant.
If light fixture -> Replace bulb /w chosen color.
If not light fixture -> Place fixture /w chosen color bulb -> Drain battery X amount.
It's important that it has a cost, otherwise you'll have borgs placing fixtures everywhere and lighting up the station like the 4th of July.
