You may get started without scripting, see Point lights and Creating Light sources in the knowledge base

Light will originate from the prim center so you may want to add a prim to make it look right

Adding light to a mesh lamp is exactly the same as adding light to a prim lamp. You need a switch script to turn on and off glow on specific faces and possibly illumination for the whole thing.

And yes, it has to be done inworld after uploading. What you get when yu upload a mesh is the shape and the UV map. Everything else has to be added inworld afterwards.
