Before Arma 3 v1.92 use setHit instead:
_lamp = nearestObject [player, "Lamps_base_F"]; _lamp setHit ["light_1_hitpoint", 0.97]; // off _lamp setHit ["light_1_hitpoint", 0]; // on
Switch all lights off in the 500 radius of player:
private _lamps = nearestObjects [player, ["Lamps_base_F", "PowerLines_base_F", "PowerLines_Small_base_F"], 500]; { for "_i" from 0 to (count getAllHitPointsDamage _x -1) do { _x setHitIndex [_i, 0.97]; }; } forEach _lamps;

How to disable all lamps using the latest Arma 3 commands, a modern method. Disable all lights that are pre-placed on the map, on the entire map:
{ _x switchLight "OFF"; } forEach (1 allObjects 0);
Disable all script-spawned and editor-placed lamps:
{ _x switchLight "OFF"; } forEach (8 allObjects 0);
These snippets iterate through all buildings and run switchLight on them. If they're lamps, they'll be turned off.
