You're setting theYour light's color of aisn't changing because it uses the RendererLight materialcomponent, not that of a lightRenderer. Simply add support for the Light component:

public class gradient : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Gradient myGradient;
    public float strobeDuration = 2f;

    public voidif Update()
    {
        float t = Mathf.PingPongTryGetComponent(Time.time /out strobeDuration,Light 1flight);)
        GetComponent<Renderer>().materiallight.color = myGradient.Evaluate(t);

        // Attempt to get a light and set its color.

With that said, I'd recommend that you use TryGetComponent for working with the Renderer component too:

if (TryGetComponent(out LightRenderer lightrenderer))
            lightrenderer.material.color = myGradient.Evaluate(t);
    }
}

I also recommend usingThe use of TryGetComponent for your Renderer too as the object may not have a renderer, in which case you'll get awill help prevent potential NullReferenceException with the way your code is written when trying to access .material.colors from occurring.

You're setting the color of a Renderer material, not that of a light.

public class gradient : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Gradient myGradient;
    public float strobeDuration = 2f;

    public void Update()
    {
        float t = Mathf.PingPong(Time.time / strobeDuration, 1f);
        GetComponent<Renderer>().material.color = myGradient.Evaluate(t);

        // Attempt to get a light and set its color.
        if (TryGetComponent(out Light light))
            light.color = myGradient.Evaluate(t);
    }
}

Your light's color isn't changing because it uses the Light component, not Renderer. Simply add support for the Light component:
