Here is a simple run down of adding a light in 1.5:

-First add a custom light datablock
--Press F12 to open the Lighting Editor
--Goto File->New and give the new light datablock a name
--Specify properties, such as Enabled, Static, and Shadows
--Specify the options under the Color tab, such as Color and Intensity
--File->Save your new datablock
--Close Lighting Editor (F12)

-Add a light to the mission
--Goto World Editor Creator
--Navigate to Mission Objects->Environment->sgLightObject
--Select your datablock from the drop-down menu
--Hit Ok and move your light in the world like any other object

-Relight the scene and see your light

Hope that helps you get on your feet.
