Toggle Viewport Default Lighting in script

Description

Hi,

I am trying to set the default viewport lighting to on or off and also set the 1 or 2 lights option but cannot seem to locate the correct method of doing it?

I thought it would be in the viewport class but nothing there? Does anybody know?

Cheers for your help.

cheers for the speedy reply,

Ah that was recording the ctrl + L keystroke.

The problem with this is I do not have the current state of the default lighting. I need to parse multiple files with snapshots of objects with .fx materials on them. .fx materials do not render so a viewport snapshot is done instead. My main issue is that all the files have multiple light settings so that's the reason of needing to set the default lighting with 1 light only.
