 To modify lights inside the scene we need to use the service `/world/<world name>/light_config` and
 fill the message [`gz::msgs::Light`](https://gazebosim.org/api/msgs/9/classgz_1_1msgs_1_1Light.html).
-In particular this example modifies the point light that we introduced with the function `createLight()`.
+
+This tutorial describes the code in the `examples/standalone/light_control` example.
+
+First we create a point light with the function `createLight()`:

 **NOTE:**: You can check the [entity creation](entity_creation.html) tutorial to learn how to include models and lights in the scene.
 
-As you can see in the snippet we modify the specular and diffuse colors of the light in the scene.
+As you can see in the snippet below, we then modify the specular and diffuse colors of the point light in the scene.
 
 \snippet examples/standalone/light_control/light_control.cc modify light
 
-In this case we are creating random numbers to fill the diffuse and specular.
+The `r`, `g`, `b` components of the light diffuse and specular colors are randomly generated and constantly changing:
