  "anchor": "viewport",
  "color": "white",

Optional Enum. One of map, viewport. Defaults to viewport.

Whether extruded geometries are lit relative to the map or viewport.

map

The position of the light source is aligned to the rotation of the map.

position

Optional Array. Defaults to 1.15,210,30.

Position of the light source relative to lit (extruded) geometries, in [r radial coordinate, a azimuthal angle, p polar angle] where r indicates the distance from the center of the base of an object to its light, a indicates the position of the light relative to 0° (0° when light.anchor is set to viewport corresponds to the top of the viewport, or 0° when light.anchor is set to map corresponds to due north, and degrees proceed clockwise), and p indicates the height of the light (from 0°, directly above, to 180°, directly below).
