+= Lightmanager = 
+A class that handles Lights.
+
+A Light is a source that emits light rays (photons)
+
+== Usage ==
+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.
+Then you will create a new light using:
+  * int addLight(void);
+  * int addLight(int lightNumber);
+
+now you can operate on the light as follows:
+  * void setPosition(Vector position);
+  * void setPosition(GLfloat x, GLfloat y, GLfloat z);
+  * void setDiffuseColor(GLfloat r, GLfloat g, GLfloat b);
+  * void setSpecularColor(GLfloat r, GLfloat g, GLfloat b);
+  * void setAttenuation(float constantAttenuation, float linearAttenuation, float quadraticAttenuation);
+  * void setSpotDirection(Vector direction);
+  * void setSpotCutoff(GLfloat cutoff);
+
+These functions are preatty selv-explaining, but you can read about them below.
+If you want to fetch info, or the a Light use:
+  * Vector getPosition(void) const;
+  * Vector getPosition(int lightNumber) const;
+  * Light* getLight(int lightNumber) const;
+
+To redraw the light use
+  * void draw();
+
+and to delete one just use
+  * void deleteLight(void);
+
+for some nice output just use:
+  * void debug(void) const;
+
+You can also operate on the single Lights themselves, by first retreaving them with
+  * Light* getLight(int lightNumber);
+      and then using the same functions to change settings.
