## Class LightBase

- java.lang.Object
- - javafx.scene.Node
  - - javafx.scene.LightBase

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    `Styleable`, `EventTarget`
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    `AmbientLight`, `PointLight`

      public abstract class LightBase
      extends Node

  The `LightBase` class provides definitions of common properties for objects that represent a form of light source. These properties include:
  - `color` - the color of the light source
  - `scope` - a list of nodes the light source affects
  - `exlusionScope` - a list of nodes the light source does not affect

  A node can exist in only one of the lists, if it is added to one, it is silently removed from the other. If a node does not exist in any list, it inherits its affected state from its parent, recursively. An exception to this is that a light with an empty `scope` affects all nodes in its scene/subscene implicitly (except for those in its `exlusionScope`) as if the root of the scene is in the `scope`.
  The `exlusionScope` is useful only for nodes that would otherwise be in scope of the light. Excluding a node is a convenient alternative to traversing the scenegraph hierarchy and adding all of the other nodes to the light's scope. Instead, the scope can remain wide and specific nodes can be excluded.

  Note that this is a conditional feature. See `ConditionalFeature.SCENE3D` for more information.

  An application should not extend the `LightBase` class directly. Doing so may lead to an `UnsupportedOperationException` being thrown.

  Since:
    JavaFX 8.0

          public ObservableList<Node> getScope()

      Gets the list of nodes that specifies the hierarchical scope of this light. Any `Shape3D`s in this list or under a `Parent` in this list are affected by this light, unless a closer parent exists in the `exclusionScope` list. If the list is empty, all nodes under the light's scene/subscene are affected by it (unless they are in the `exclusionScope`).
      Returns:
        the list of nodes that specifies the hierarchical scope of this light

        `getExclusionScope()`

    - #### getExclusionScope

          public ObservableList<Node> getExclusionScope()

      Gets the list of nodes that specifies the hierarchical exclusion scope of this light. Any `Shape3D`s in this list or under a `Parent` in this list are not affected by this light, unless a closer parent exists in the `scope` list.
      This is a convenience list for excluding nodes that would otherwise be in scope of the light.
      Returns:
        the list of nodes that specifies the hierarchical exclusion scope of this light
