 You can select the light components from IDE components palette or create them at runtime.
+===== Extended Properties =====
+__**NOTICE**__: Because TGorillaLight is a component for future implementation, we provide new properties, which have no effect yet, due to restrictions inside of the Firemonkey framework.
+^Property ^Description^
+|Ambient|Get or set the ambient part of light color.|
+|Specular|Get or set the specular part of light color.|
+|Intensity|Control the power / intensity of the light computation.|
+|ConstantAttenuation|A constant factor applied to the attenuation of a light. By default this value is set to 1.0.|
+|LinearAttenuation|A linear factor applied to the attenuation of a light. By default this value is set to 0.0.|
+|QuadraticAttenuation|A quadratic factor applied to the attenuation of a light. By default this value is set to 0.0.|

 ^LightType ^Description ^
 |TLightType.Directional|A light that gets emitted in a specific direction. This light will behave as though it is infinitely far away and the rays produced from it are all parallel. The common use case for this is to simulate daylight; the sun is far enough away that its position can be considered to be infinite, and all light rays coming from it are parallel.|

 ===== Multiple Lights =====
-We support multiple light sources depending on which platform (Windows/Android) is used.
+We support multiple light sources in our **TGorillaDefaultMaterialSource** component and all of its descendants, depending on which platform (Windows/Android) is used.
