Example of

[Alienhead]

I'm seeking an example of setting a PointLight's COLOR and BRIGHTNESS in LUA code please.  Yes I've combed the docs and tried all that it said, tis' the reason I've resorted to asking here.. ty.

light:SetColor(.5)  --- sits the brightness but it also changes the color back to 1,1,1

Color is actually just converted to a normalized (from zero to one range on each channel) color and brightness like this:

c = color;
intensity = 1.0f;
if (c.r > 1.0f or c.g > 1.0f or c.b > 1.0f)
{
  intensity = Max(c.r, Max(c.g, c.b));
}
if (intensity != 1.0f)
{
  c.r /= i;
  c.g /= i;
  c.b /= i;
}

And this converts normalized color and brightness back to the color:

color.r *= intensity; color.g *= intensity; color.b *= intensity;

In your case, this is all you would need:

light:SetColor(light:GetColor() * 0.5)
