Derived from mel command maya.cmds.directionalLight
Example:
import pymel.core as pm
# Create a directional light
light = pm.directionalLight(rotation=(45, 30, 15))
# Change the light intensity
pm.directionalLight( light, e=True, intensity=0.5 )
# Query it
pm.directionalLight( light, q=True, intensity=True )
# Result: 0.5 #
# Result:0.5#
