     ## Lighting Mode
     The lighting mode property defines how the material handles the shading of
     lights. The default mode is *Fragment Lighting* which perform all light shading
     in the fragment shader porsion of the graphics pipeline. In this case all both
     image based lighting as well as any punctual lights are used to shade the material.
     The other case *No Lighting* which ignores all light sources in the scene and
     the material is rendered without shading.  This mode can be useful with models
     that should not be shaded, for example tools (gizmos) inside of a 3D editor.

     Generally if you use the Mesh file format baked by balsam, or the runtime
     loader for loading glTF2 scenes, the geometry primitive will be individual
     triangles, so these properties are not useful. However it is possible to
     create your own mesh geometry where the primitive is instead either Points
     or Lines, and in these cases it is possible to change the size of these
     primitives when rendered. These properties will only have an affect on a
     material when the geometry primitive is set to Line or Point respectively.
     The behavior of these properties will depend on which graphics API the is
     being used, and is possible that they will do nothing at all."

     The Specular Reflection Map property is for providing a static environment map

     EnvironmentMap mapping mode to look correct. In addition this means that the

     to using Imaged Based Lighting via lightProbes to get static reflections."
