//on or off(Sony Ericsson). Value 0 indicates lights off
//for monochrome displays or the minimum brightness setting
//for color displays. All other level values (1-100) are

//lower one, or a brighter setting. For many products,

Postconditions
This MIDlet implements a simple example of controlling the light property.
Turns off the light then raises the light level from 1 to 100.
