Is it possible to do something like

povray +iscene.pov +LightSetting=1 +W320 +H180
as commandline and then in the code

#if (LightSetting=1)
        code
#end

#if (lightSetting=2)
        more code
#end
?

I have searched the helpfile but couldn't find anything about this.
Btw, I'm using povray 3.6.1 on linux.

Yes.
You can add
  Declare=LightSetting=1
to either an INI file or to the command line.
See the Declare ini-option in the help.
