Local lights occupy a point in space and cast light in all directions from that position. The light does not attenuate, and is in a given color. The position of a local light is marked with an asterisk with a circle around it. The color of the asterisk is the lights entity color, and the color of the circle is the color of light that is cast from the given position.
