    You are going to need to make a blueprint. If you don't have any experience with them yet, I recommend that you watch the tutorials on blueprints on the Unreal Engine youtube. I know how to set it up so a light can be triggered, however I'm not entirely certain how to feed time of day data into a blueprint, but I'm sure it can be done.

    fixed , incase anyone else needs to know :

    https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Tutorial:_Time_of_Day

    at the end it tells you how to make it check for night/day and you can blueprint trigger lights to that
