Just out of interest, is the integer value of GL_LIGHTn guaranteed to be (GL_LIGHT0 + n), or is this behaviour implementation-dependent?
(Not an important question - just my mind wandering again…)
I think there’s only 8 GL_LIGHTn’s, as far as opengl 1.2[?]
going from 0-7. you can play with it and see.
ex: GL_LIGHT8, GL_LIGHT20, etc
can somebody confirm?

Only 8 in the standard, but some cards/platforms do more, as I understand it.

The specification always have the answer to questions like this. Everyone should have a copy. See page 60 in the latest spec.
Just as said bob.
By the way, as the values are defined on gl.h, it can not be implementation dependant.
