Lights are a 0x41 byte long struct and consists of the following:
 
Each light is a 0x41-byte struct that consists of the following data:

=== Light Types ===
The first value in each light is a type value. These are the possible values:
{| class="wikitable"
! Type
! Name
|-
| 0x0
| Local Ambient
|-
| 0x1
| Directional
|-
| 0x3
| Spot
|-
| Other
| Custom
|}
The game doesn't actually track separate light types internally; rather, each light type is a preset that only draws from a couple of the possible parameters. The Custom type is not a preset, and allows further control over how the light is set up. Custom lights are commonly found under type 0x2, acting as point/omni lights.
