	Light State specifies whether to enable the light state. 0 Inherit Value (default)—The light inherits the state of the parent object. 1 Off—Disables the light. 2 On—Enables the light.
	Scene Object In specifies a reference to the scene you want to manipulate.
	Light Refnum In specifies a reference to the light.
	Position specifies the x, y, and z coordinates that define the position of the light relative to its owning object. X specifies the X coordinate of the light source. The default value is 0. Y specifies the Y coordinate of the light source. The default value is 0. Z specifies the Z coordinate of the light source. The default value is 0.
	error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.
	Scene Object Out returns a reference to the scene object.
	error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.
