What you could do is assign a token to "LIGHT"

A var word

LIGHT CON 1  ' Note: you can assign any value from 0 to 255 here

DO
     SERIN 15 , 84, [WAIT(">"),A] ' Wait to recived SMS

     IF A = LIGHT THEN
          ' order to be make
          HIGH 0
          PAUSE 1000
     ENDIF

LOOP

The Stamps don't do arithmetic operations on strings (like "Light"). They will do arithmetic operations on single characters (like "L"). It is possible to receive a character string and store it in a byte array using SERIN and the STR formatter. Look at page 404 of the Stamp Manual for a description of this and some simple examples. Once you have a short string in a byte array, you can test each of the characters for some specific word like this:

A VAR BYTE(6) ' 6 bytes long

SERIN 15, 84, [WAIT(">"), STR A\6\13] ' A ">" then a 1 to 5 character word, then a carriage return
IF A(0) = "L" and A(1) = "i" and A(2) = "g" and A(3) = "h" and A(4) = "t" and A(5) = 0 THEN

The test for the last byte being zero is there because STR fills out the byte array with zeroes.
