Overview
This snippet shows how to control lighting on devices through setLights() method of DeviceControl class.

//specified: num value 0 is used for controlling the
//screen backlight. Parameter level is a value between
//0-100, which indicates the brightness of the light.
//In many implementations, there are only two levels:
//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
//used for turning the lights on, possibly with different
//brightness levels, depending on the value. A larger value
//always results in either the same brightness setting as a
//lower one, or a brighter setting. For many products,
//values 1-100 will just turn the lights on.

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