Typically, this light is installed by an HVAC technician. It is about a 12 inch long light tube that slides into a hole in the side of the furnace unit. It is designed to prevent mold from growing inside the unit, which can occur because of the dampness from the condensate water dripping from the evaporator coil. It is usually not a DIY project. I have never seen additional lights installed inside the ductwork, and I don't think it would be practical to try to prevent or kill mold in the entire ductwork system.
