    What do you mean by a “basic light effect”?
    AE has tons of effects that come with it and what you’re looking for is very likely to already be in there.

    KLF is the industry standard for lens flares. And now that they’ve added an AE 3d functionality in a script you can download, it’s even better.

    Optical Flares [link]
    Is the new hotness in town. It has a couple of features (dirty lens) that KLF doesn’t have and it’s cheaper. I don’t have any experience with it though so I can’t say if the quality is as good, but the work I’ve seen it on has been pretty good.
