jPCT supports an unlimited number of light sources for both, the software and the hardware renderer. However, when using compiled objects, the number of lights that shine on one object is limited to 8. jPCT will determine the 8 most important for this object automatically. Lights can be added to the world in two different ways, the legacy way and the more object oriented way. I prefer the latter, which is enabled by using the Light-class in the util package.

The same is true for setting up attenuation and similar values...you may either configure this in a global way in Config or individually in either World or in the Light-class. Again, i prefer the latter way. The Config-settings are relic from the past, ignore them for new applications if possible.
