<b>Usage:</b>\n
First you have to get the Light Manager up and running by using LightManager::getInstance().
This automatically initiates the GL_LIGHTING, and sets some default stuff about the light.\n
Then you will create a new light using:
\li new Light();

if you want to operate on this Light just apply the following functions onto it.
(You can also optain the Light-pointer with LightManager::getInstance()->getLight(lightNumber))

now you can operate on the light as follows:
\li void setDiffuseColor(GLfloat r, GLfloat g, GLfloat b);
\li void setSpecularColor(GLfloat r, GLfloat g, GLfloat b);
\li void setAttenuation(float constantAttenuation, float linearAttenuation, float quadraticAttenuation);
\li void setSpotDirection(Vector direction);
\li void setSpotCutoff(GLfloat cutoff);
\li all PNode stuff also works

To redraw the light use
\li void draw() const; (this is automatically done by the LightManager)

for some nice output just use:
\li void debug() const; (either on LightManager for a resume or on any Light for single information.)
