Making your own lights is no biggie at all. Go to your light controls. You will see something like a snowflake on the right hand side. Click it. That creates a light. Then you can click on the color underneath the sphere, and change it. Then you can adjust its position via the parameter dials. I was intimidated by lights, but someone made a suggestion to me, and I started playing with them. I am actually teaching myself magnets now, at the suggestion of another member. It's funny how you can be intimidated by something like Poser. Hope this helps!
