Am I reading this right, are Cantrips unlimited?  Can a cleric memorize light (duration one hour) and basically walk through a dungeon just lighting the walls up?

Yes, cantrips are usable at-will. A single caster can only have one Light spell in effect at a time, though, because the spell ends if you cast it against.

I think the idea of at-will cantrips is a good thing, since I once played a 1e 1st-level Magic-User who had one spell all day and then had to wave a Dagger while wearing a Cloth Robe and trying to look dangerous.

Needless to say, I did not feel much like a magic user the other (60 * 24) - 1 minutes of the day.

keep in mind that the short rest long rest durations can be altered significantly ...

 

so if a short rest is 8 hrs and a long rest is 5 days ... that cantrip becomes that much more important and the spell slots become that much more scarce.
