Since Matz said it was about "lightness" I used リテ meaning lite, but 
guess I'm so used to transliterate kana to my own lang(spanish) that I 
forgot that lite is english and it would sound like "lait" in spanish so 
it would be equal(plus some rules, no lone 't' so 'to') in japanese, so 
yes ライト would be if it's about pronunciation.
