Creates a new Light object given a light preset name/object. An interest is also created by default unless its specified otherwise with the AddInterest argument. The new light created is parented under this X3DObject.

This method only creates a Ligh object with possibly an interest, whereas X3DObject.AddLightRig creates a Light root object with the Light and its interest as children.

Light X3DObject.AddLight( Object in_Preset, Boolean in_bAddInterest, String in_name );

oReturn = X3DObject.AddLight( Preset, [AddInterest], [Name] );
