CfgLights – Arma 3

Here is a template with some descriptions:

	brightness = 0.1;			// Only used if intensity isn't set. Also deprecated. intensity = (brightness*50)^2
	class Attenuation

		constant = 1;			// constant attenuation coef
		linear = 1;				// linear attenuation coef
		quadratic = 1;			// quadratic attenuation coef
		hardLimitStart = 1e20 * 0.7; // max distance hard limit start (start of fading of intensity to 0) in meter – default is (1e20 * 0.7)
		hardLimitEnd = 1e20;	// max distance hard limit end (end of fading of intensity to 0) in meter – default is 1e20
	};
	dayLight = 1;			// boolean (0/1). Is light shown during daylight.
	useFlare = 1;			// boolean (0/1). Is light having a flare effect
	irLight = 0;			// boolean (0/1). Is light visible normally or only with NVGs
	flareSize = 1;			// Default is 1
	flareMaxDistance = 600;	// Default is 600
	position[] = {0,0,1};	// Position. Purpose unkown. Maybe some offset from the source.
