Did anyone answer this one? There is no way to control the lights in Alice 3. You can just change the color of the built-in lights.

We found several types of lights to choose from in Alice 3 but how can we turn them "on" and "off" in a world? In Alice 2 we could use light bulbs, but is there any comparative object available in Alice 3?</div>
