Some nouns don't like to take a plural form. A couple of examles are
fish and
sheep. I have a feeling there may be a "rule" regarding nouns made from adjectives like aggression, happyness, that they can't take plural form ether. I don't have a dictionary nearby, but ｐlease check.

In the sense you have written this, light is uncountable. If you meant light as in a light fitting, that would be countable: "there are so many lights over there."

The first one suggests more than one type.

This depends on whether you are thinking about dialogue as a countable or uncountable thing. It could be either.
That was all just off the top of my head. Hope it helps.
I think if you study up on countable/uncountable you will understand better.
