Starting with the "8" handshape, lightly flick the bottom of the chin with the middle finger with the palm oriented toward the throat. This can be done with with either the dominant or the non-dominant hand to represent a source of light like a bulb or fixture.
Point toward the light switch or fixture, then sign 'light' by forming the '8' handshape and lightly flicking the bottom of your chin with your middle finger.

No, this specific sign is used for a source of illumination, like a lightbulb or fixture. The concept of 'light' meaning 'not heavy' uses a completely different sign, usually involving both hands with middle fingers flicking upward near the chest.
For this variation, you can use either your dominant or non-dominant hand. It is generally best to use whichever hand makes the transition from the previous sign to the next sign the smoothest.
The motion should be a very light, gentle flick against the bottom of your chin. You do not need to apply pressure or make an audible sound. A quick, subtle brush of the middle finger is enough.
