It thinks that there is nothing called “SurfaceLight” inside of handle (see image below)

Could you show your code?

I’m guessing that you are referencing it before SurfaceLight loads into the game.

local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local on = false
script.Parent.SurfaceLight.Brightness = 0
uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F then
		if on == false then
			script.Parent.SurfaceLight.Brightness = 10
			on = true
		else
			script.Parent.SurfaceLight.Brightness = 0
			on = false
		end
	end
end)

was my code, but i added a task.wait(5) on the top and now it seems to work.
