To add lights to your web button you must first click on the Button Lights tab.
Click on the light check boxes to activate the Diffuse Light(s) and/or Spot Light(s) (specular) you want to use and choose the light(s) color from their respective color picker.

You can also define the light intensity of each light which will add the relevant effect to your web button.
You can customize the effect of the combination of lights by moving accordingly the “light icon” corresponding to the light(s) you are using.
