The '''lights''' section in Metroid Prime areas defines several different types of lights: local ambient, directional, spot, and custom.

The header for the light section is extremely simple and consists of the magic value <code>0xBABEDEAD</code>. It's then followed by two arrays of lights, each preceded by a light count. | The header for the light section is extremely simple and consists of the magic value <code>0xBABEDEAD</code>.

Each light is a 0x41-byte struct. Note that the same structure is used for every light type, but not every value is used by every type; in fact, some of them aren't used by any of them. | Each light is a 0x41-byte struct.
