Light

Description

Script interface for light components.

Use this to control all aspects of Unity's lights. The properties are an exact match for the values shown in the Inspector.

Usually lights are just created in the editor but sometimes you want to create a light from a script:

using UnityEngine;

public class Example : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Start()
    {
        // Make a game object
        GameObject lightGameObject = new GameObject("The Light");

        // Add the light component
        Light lightComp = lightGameObject.AddComponent<Light>();

        // Set color and position
        lightComp.color = Color.blue;

        // Set the position (or any transform property)
        lightGameObject.transform.position = new Vector3(0, 5, 0);
    }
}
