Use the functions turn_on(intensity) and turn off() in _lights.gsc.

Code Snippet

Plaintext

power_lights = GetStructArray( "light_electric", "targetname" );

thats inside lights.csc
just select the light and tick primary scriptable and primary omni or spot depending on the light type you want and give it the targetname of light_electic
also remember that primary lights need to be connected to an info_null
that will make the light turn on when the power switch is used.

Marked his reply as best answer when i already answered it. Seems legit.

Adding a light in _lights.csc would only affect the specific client, not the server. You need to use _lights.gsc like i said.
