there are actually 2 differnt 'types' of texture lights.

a standard texture light, which wll you have to do is add its name to the lights.rad file followed by the numeric color value and intensity
<!--c1--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->wall_lablightx  248 240 107 300<!--c2--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->
listed as so:
NameOfTexture RedVaule GreenValue BlueValue Intensity

the first three numbers are easy to get, which you can see them then you choose the birghtness for a light entity.
the last is the intensity, which varies on how big the texture is (or rather how much brush surface its textured on) You'll want to tweak this to increase/decrease the brightness..

the second type is an overlay. A short How to can be found <a href='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=61436&view=findpost&p=906184' target='_blank'>here</a>. [edit]These overlay textures also use values from the explination from method 1 above. [/e]
