Sorry, mate, can you let us know some more info?

Examples:

Which game are you mapping for?
What kind of light are you trying to add?
Lights? Spot lights? Light_environment? Lights by textures?
What does it mean light don't work? Map is fullbright? Is it dark?
What does the vrad log says?
Can you paste here your compile log, please?
Thank you.
