Turning on and off lights via trigger (and other methods)

[hpat 1]

Ok, I've mad a series of lights for a mission with the following code, and need help turning them on and off.

if (isServer) then {this setPos [getPos this select 0,getPos this select 1,1.75]; this setVectorUp [0,0,1]};light1="#lightpoint" createVehicle [0,0,0];light1    setLightBrightness 1.3;light1 setLightAmbient [3,3,3];light1 setLightColor [3,3,3];light1 lightAttachObject [this,[0,0,0]]  

There are some variations in this based on different color lights in different places, but you get the idea - I susspect the solution to my problem won't even involve the code - just the object names, but there it is anyway.

Ok, I have 2 questions about ways to turn them on and off:

1: If a generator object is destroyed - force all lights linked to this system to turn off (Not street lights, though - that's the problem with a less subtle approach - streetlights in the same aera)

2: A switch to turn lights on and off at the players command - either by a radio trigger - or somehow via an option at the generator object.

Thanks in advance for any help.
