---

castsShadows : Boolean

If enabled, the LightSource will be able to cast shadows.

---

color : vec3

The color of the light.

---

diffuseEnvmapTexture : Texture

A color image applied to an imaginary skybox the LightSource will use for color information.

---

envmapExposure : Number

A value used to increase the intensity of light information derived from the diffuseEnvmapTexture exponentially.

---

envmapRotation : Number

Controls the amount of rotation applied to the diffuseEnvmapTexture.

---

intensity : Number

The strength of the light on a scale of 0.0 – 1.0.

---

renderLayer : LayerSet

The set of layers this LightSource will affect.

---

shadowFrustumFarClipPlane : Number

The maximum distance at which shadows will be calculated for this LightSource.

---

shadowFrustumNearClipPlane : Number

The minimum distance at which shadows will be calculated for this LightSource.

---

shadowFrustumSize : Number

The simulated distance of the light source from objects to calculate the softness of the shadow.

---

specularEnvmapTexture : Texture

A color image applied to an imaginary skybox the light source will use for specular and reflection information.

---

useEnvmap : Boolean
