Light.color	The color of the light.
Light.commandBufferCount	Number of command buffers set up on this light (Read Only).
Light.cookie	The cookie texture projected by the light.
Light.cookieSize	The size of a directional light's cookie.
Light.cullingMask	This is used to light certain objects in the Scene selectively.
Light.flare	The flare asset to use for this light.
Light.innerSpotAngle	The angle of the light's spotlight inner cone in degrees.
Light.intensity	The Intensity of a light is multiplied with the Light color.
Light.layerShadowCullDistancesv	Per-light, per-layer shadow culling distances.
Light.range	The range of the light.
Light.renderingLayerMask	Determines which rendering LayerMask this Light affects.
Light.renderMode	How to render the light.
Light.shadowAngle	Controls the amount of artificial softening applied to the edges of shadows cast by directional lights.
Light.shadowBias	Shadow mapping constant bias.
Light.shadowCustomResolution	The custom resolution of the shadow map.
