Light behaves a lot like a component, but isn’t one. As such, it must be added using the following syntax instead:

inst.entity:AddLight() |
Light Methods
| Name | Parameter | Returns | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| SetIntensity | percent | nil | how bright the light is |
| SetRadius | number | nil | how far the light shines |
| SetFalloff | percent | nil | how rapidly the light goes from full intensity to none |
| SetColour | r,g,b | nil | red,green,blue in percent |
| Enable | boolean | nil | true activates the light, false disables it (it keeps its settings) |

Of course you can just enable it at all times, or at fixed brightness. You can use the common RGBÂ system using divisions like above, to implement easily pickable colours (for example using colorpicker)
