It is aimed both at professional Blender users looking to work faster and at those experimenting with lighting for their own projects.

Light Array is completely free to download and use.
Light Array lists compatibility with Blender 4.1, along with 4.0 and 3.6, so the 4.1 release is covered. If you are running any of those three versions, the addon is intended to work with your setup. For a Blender release outside that range, compatibility is not stated, so it is worth checking the developer's page before installing. Support for versions beyond those three is not confirmed, so treat 3.6 through 4.1 as the supported range for now.
Light Array is listed here as free, so you can add it without a price shown. Licensing is royalty-free according to its details, which covers how you can use the light setups it provides. Because terms can change over time, the most reliable place to confirm current pricing and license conditions is the developer's page. If you need exact rights for a commercial project, review that page before relying on the addon in paid work.
Light Array comes with more than 45 ready-made light setups, a range of preconfigured lighting you can drop into a scene. Alongside those, it offers 20 different types of lights to choose from, so you can pick individual light kinds as well as full setups. Together these make up the addon's lighting library. The setups and light types are the core of what Light Array provides for adding lighting to a Blender scene, and a Documentation lesson explains how to work with them.
Light Array includes a Documentation section that contains a lesson on how to use the addon. This gives you a guided starting point for working with its light setups and light types rather than figuring the workflow out on your own. A demo video is also available if you prefer to follow along visually. Between the documentation lesson and the video, there are two references to help you get familiar with the addon after installing it in Blender.
