Very welcome.

If you use version 3.5 (also beta 3.6), there is. Let's see... the 3.5 docs
tell more about it in section 6.5.8 if you want to check into that more. My
example would be like:

light_group {
    light_source {...} // Only this light affects the object included.
    text {...} // Included object.
    global_lights off // No other lights allowed to affect this.
}

light_source {...} // This one doesn't affect the above, unless
global_lights is 'on'.
