Can I create 200 spot and point lights using Lite-C script at run time ? Or am I limited to 8 lights as in the fixed function pipeline ? How can I create and alter properties of Ambient Light at run time ? How can I create Directional light using Lite-C script ? Thanks,

The actual number of lights visible at one time is virtually unlimited. Always learn from history, to be sure you make the same mistakes again...
