Do other deities besides YHWH represent themselves as LIGHT?

I know the Mayan/Toltec deity kukultan/quetzalcoatl is depicted in the shadow cast on the balastrades of the "El Castillo" pyramid in ChichenItza as a descending serpent of darkness, and the islamic deity is a regional moon deity (and thus ociated with darkness/night), but YHWH, in contrast is called the Light of Israel (Isaiah 10:17; Psalm 27:1) and the Light of the Nations (Isaiah 42:6). What other deities are presented in such a way?
