The IDirect3D2::CreateLight method allocates a Direct3DLight object. This object can then be associated with a viewport by using the IDirect3DViewport2::AddLight method.
HRESULT CreateLight(
LPDIRECT3DLIGHT* lplpDirect3DLight,
IUnknown* pUnkOuter
);
Parameters

If the method fails, the return value may be one of the following values:
