40    /** Representation of a dynamic light source in the scene.
41        @remarks
42            Lights are added to the scene like any other object. They contain various
43            parameters like type, position, attenuation (how light intensity fades with
44            distance), colour etc.
45        @par
46            The defaults when a light is created is pure white diffues light, with no
47            attenuation (does not decrease with distance) and a range of 1000 world units.
48        @par
49            Lights are created by using the SceneManager::createLight method. They can subsequently be
50            added to a SceneNode if required to allow them to move relative to a node in the scene. A light attached
51            to a SceneNode is assumed to havea base position of (0,0,0) and a direction of (0,0,1) before modification
52            by the SceneNode's own orientation. If not attached to a SceneNode,
53            the light's position and direction is as set using setPosition and setDirection.
54        @par
55            Remember also that dynamic lights rely on modifying the colour of vertices based on the position of
56            the light compared to an object's vertex normals. Dynamic lighting will only look good if the
57            object being lit has a fair level of tesselation and the normals are properly set. This is particularly
58            true for the spotlight which will only look right on highly tesselated models. In the future OGRE may be
59            extended for certain scene types so an alternative to the standard dynamic lighting may be used, such
60            as dynamic lightmaps.
