<span id="Lights-1"></span><h4 class="subsection">5.3.9 Lights</h4>
<p>The <code>(chickadee graphics light)</code> module provides a data type for
dynamic lights that can be used to light 3D objects (such as
<a href="Models.html">Models</a> or <a href="Meshes.html">Meshes</a>.)
</p>
<p>There are 3 types of dynamic lights:
</p>
<ul>
<li> point light:
Emits light in all directions from a specific point in space, like a
light bulb.
</li><li> directional light:
Emits light of a constant intensity in a direction, like sunlight.
</li><li> spot light:
Emits a cone of light in a direction, like a flashlight.
</li></ul>
