I refer to lights that are set to type "Global" (as opposed to "Point", "Spot",
or "IBL whatsoever"; English terms may be different though, I can only infer
them from the German ones). I guess that's parallel lights.

Sure. And PoseRay does import "Point" lights; it just doesn't do "Global" lights
(nor IBL maps, for that matter - although it would be handy if those could
easily be converted to a light dome, without tedious searching for that HDR
file and all)
