First off the article you mentioned is completely wrong about how white phosphorus works. Rounds that are used to illuminate a target area are made of Magnesium and come down slowly while burning because they use a parachute to slow their rate of fall. WP usually always explodes (Actually just the canister is burst) when it hits the ground. Wp ignites when exposed to oxygen and is used to create smoke mostly and as an incendiary second. The only way to put it out is to remove it from oxygen. WP provides very little illumination.
