## API Changes

Point Lights Viewer Support There are several API changes related to the Point Lights Viewer support. This includes changes to `Light` and `getLight`, as follows:

- `Light` is now a generic light type, with specifics being:

  > - `DirectionalLight`
  > - `PointLight`

- `getLight(key:LightKey)` method will return the appropriate type accordingly

- New methods added:

  > - `addPointLight(light:PointLight)`
  > - `setLightPower(viewKey: ViewKey, key: LightKey, power: number)`
  > - `setLightDecay(viewKey: ViewKey, key: LightKey, decay: number)`

- The interface formerly named `Light` was renamed to `ILight` for consistency

Please see the Web Viewer API Reference for more information.
