Is it possible to setup instances in Houdini so upon load in Unreal they will generate Unreal Point Lights ?

There's no easy way to do it at the moment. But this has been asked before so I'll bump the priority on this RFE.

Cool! I can see why you'd want instanced lights.

Yeah it would be great, is it a hard thing to implement ? I mean, and it might be a hard question to answer, but how far into the future might it be ?

Sorry, can't say for sure when we'll get to support lights in Houdini Engine.

Instancing lights does work in Unity though.

Thanks, I've also sort of come to the conclusion that probably ‘Use Emissive for lighting’ would be even better if it worked than point lights, and perhaps easier ? But obviously point light's would be awesome to.

Come to think about it, it would be very cool if I could besides point lights also generate reflection spheres
Here is a new pic.
