Hi Flores,
the light source itself will never be visible in ATL. If you have something like a bulb you have to ad a white bitmap to this and increase ambience of this bitmap. This will give you some glowing effect.
But before writing it will be helpful if you use searchfuction. There are a lot of threads dealing with the same.

You need to be using the Shader Inspector. Click the texture that you want to add ambiance to then on the left hand side you will see a slider for ambiance. You can't add ambiance to shaders, only textures mapped on shaders.
I typically create some geometry in the modeling program like a small circle as the lens of the light. Then in Artlantis I add the neon shader to the light source to make it glow like a real light. I also place a light just below this geometry to cast light onto the surfaces around it.
If you would like to see a tutorial on the subject, let me know.
