As far as I know, to make the light visible you need to have a
surface like a sphere around the light and apply the necesary surface
features to make it look like a light. No need to ray-trace.
Try adding a shpere in modeler and exporting it into the Layout then
change the surface color to 255,255,255 and set smoothing ON and set
edge transparency to transparent. Make sure you place the light
inside the sphere. This will give you a simple glowing white light.
LW 3.0 makes this VERY easy as you can just set the Lens Flare feature
to do what you want.
