Light can be created with command createVehicleLocal with special vehicle class "#lightpoint".
For example:

_light = "#lightpoint" createVehicleLocal pos;
_light setLightBrightness 1.0;
_light setLightAmbient [0.0, 1.0, 0.0];
_light setLightColor [0.0, 1.0, 0.0];
_light lightAttachObject [_object, [0,0,0]];

To clarify:

setLightAmbient - Terrain and surrounding objects are bathed in this colour.
setLightColor - Controls the "haze" seen around the lightsource (ex flares).

When both setLightAmbient and setLightColor were [0,0,0], there won’t be any visual presentation on the light source.
