A dynamic light on an MDL.

Games such as Half-Life create temporary elights at an $attachment on gun models to create muzzle flashes.

In Source, all light and light_spot entities cast elights unless a custom VRAD is used. This can cause lighting issues on playermodels and viewmodels when "fake" light sources are used to fix areas that are too dark when lit realistically.
