Basing it on the Radiant Servant was my first thought, but I noticed a couple problems with that. First, the Radiant Servant is way too powerful, and second, it's healing powers don't fit Lathander (as I see you've noticed). So I took some ideas from the Morninglord specialty priest from 2E.My first suggestion is to drop BAB to Wizards. If you're going to get full spellcasting progression (you didn't list that, but I'm assuming) AND full undead turning, you've got to give up something.The 2E Morninglord had two special abilities. One was the ability to cast Faerie Fire 1/day. The other was a +2 bonus to appraising, artistic ability, juggling, musical instrument, and pottery. Basically, I substituted out the healing abilities and threw in:1) Faerie Fire as a spell-like ability2) a bonus creativity feat, to be chosen from Skill Focus (appraise, craft, or perform) or Artist (from FRCS)It's not a fair trade-off, but that's not what I was looking for. The Radiant Servant of Pelor is not balanced, so those are the changes I made to make it more balanced and more like Lathander than Pelor.I also threw in the Timeless Body ability that's in a few PrCs, like the Mystic Wanderer. It's the one where they no longer are affected by age penalties (eternal youth, except they still die at the appointed time). Youth is part of Lathander's portfolio.For prerequisites, I added Endurance, since Lathander is the god of athletics, and 5 ranks in Craft or Perform, since he also covers creativity. As a special prerequisite, I was thinking of some kind of ritual of rebirth that had to be performed by a high priest of Lathander.That was the way *I* did it. You can't throw in more bonuses to the ton of bonuses you've already got in there, though. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> They're just suggestions for alternate abilities.</blockquote>
